Koaden Fedun’s Death Stir Fort Saskatchewan Hockey Community

Unconfirmed reports and social media tributes saying that Fort Saskatchewan minor-hockey player Koaden Fedun has died have been circulating online.

What’s being reported

Several community pages and short videos are claiming the passing of Koaden Fedun, describing him as a young, well-known player within the Fort Saskatchewan minor-hockey system.

What is verified

Public minor-hockey rosters and league pages list a player named Koaden Fedun on Fort Saskatchewan teams (U11 / youth rosters), confirming the existence of a youth player by that name in the community. Those roster entries do not contain information about any incident or death. efhlhockey.com+1

What’s missing / what we still need

• No statement from Fort Saskatchewan Minor Hockey’s official account or website has been found on mainstream local news pages. (An Instagram account appears to have a condolence-style line but lacks an official press statement.) Instagram

• No police press release, local-paper obituary, or funeral-home notice from a reputable provider has been located to corroborate the reports.

• Several low-quality “tribute” or “morgue” aggregator pages have republished the claim; these sites often mirror social posts and are not primary confirmation. Facebook+1

Community reaction

Social media posts show teammates, parents, and community groups expressing shock and grief. Small, rapidly uploaded videos and posts typically appear first on social platforms in local incidents — but they can be mistaken, duplicated, or premature. Treat these as early signals, not proof. youtube.com+1

How readers can verify (quick checklist)

1. Check the official Fort Saskatchewan Minor Hockey social channels or website for a statement. Instagram

2. Look for a funeral-home obituary (Autumn Rose, Bosak, or other local funeral homes often host formal notices in Alberta).

3. Monitor local reputable media: Edmonton Journal, Global Edmonton, CBC Edmonton, or Fort Saskatchewan Today for confirmed reporting.

4. If you personally know the family, contact them respectfully — do not rely on hearsay.

5. Avoid sharing unverified tributes; wait for official confirmation to prevent spreading false news.

Bottom line

There are multiple social media posts and tributes claiming that Fort Saskatchewan youth hockey player Koaden Fedun has died, and community pages are sharing condolences. However, there is no independent confirmation from a reputable news outlet, police, or funeral home at this time. Given the sensitivity, responsible reporting requires waiting for an official notice before presenting the death as confirmed. Facebook+2Facebook+2
