Fans and more in the hockey community have rallied to support Winnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele, as the Winnipeg Jets' charitable foundation has received over $30,000 in donations in honor of Scheifele's father.

The 32-year-old was doing the unthinkable of playing in a playoff game, several hours after his father, Brad, had passed away overnight on Friday. Scheifele played Game 6 against the Dallas Stars to honor his father, and even scored the game's first goal in the second period.

Playing hours after his father died, the Winnipeg forward scored a goal, but was in the penalty box when Dallas ended Western Conference playoff series with an OT win.
