The final wish of a Humboldt Broncos hockey player from Lethbridge will help six people live on through the donation of his organs.

Logan Boulet, 21, had been on life-support to allow for the organ donation process to take place, as a surgical team from the University of Alberta hospital made its way to Saskatoon.

Late Saturday, a friend of the Boulet family posted on social media that the organ transplant procedures were scheduled to begin early Sunday morning, as matches were made for all vital organs, including a patient that would receive the young hockey player’s heart and lungs.

“All counted, six people will receive the gift of life from Logan,” wrote Neil Langevin.

Boulet signed an organ donor card upon turning 21, just weeks ago. He had made it known to his family that this was his wish, according to Langevin.

“These actions alone give voice to the selfless and benevolent nature Logan possessed in life for others,” Langevin stated. “He is a great hero and one of the nicest people you would have been lucky enough to meet.”
