The players wore helmet decals for their game against the Edmonton Oilers with Bush's initials "AB" and the No. 29 he wore with his Vegas Jr. Golden Knights team. His favorite player was Vegas goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, who wears the same number.
"He always had a joke for the team," his coach Ken Rubino
told KVVU-TV in Las Vegas.
"Whenever I felt like we were too tight in the locker room or too serious about the game that was coming up I always had Alex step to the middle of the floor and tell a joke to the team to kind of get everybody's spirits up and lighten up the room and he delivered every time."
Bush's 9-year-old sister Charlotte is in critical condition from the accident, which happened when they were walking home from school on Feb. 14, and
two verified
Go Fund Me campaigns
were launched to help the family.
