HAMDEN, Conn. - Quinnipiac Athletics and the men's ice hockey team mourn the loss of Michael Torello on July 30, 2021. Torello has been a member of the men's ice program since 2017 after he joined from Team IMPACT.
Torello attended games, practices, team dinners and events throughout his time as a Bobcat and was truly teammate and dedicated member of the Bobcats' squad. Michael, who was diagnosed with Kernicterus in 2017, came to the Bobcats from Team IMPACT, whose mission is to improve the quality of life for children facing serious and chronic illnesses through the power of team.
Since 2011, Team IMPACT has matched more than 1,300 children with more than 500 colleges and universities in 47 states, reaching over 35,000 participating student-athletes. The child joins the athletic team and the student-athletes join the child's support team. Throughout the journey, the child gains strength, camaraderie and support while the student-athletes experience lessons of courage, resiliency and perspective they can't learn in a classroom.
Our thoughts are with Michael's mother and father, Carolyn and John, and his siblings, Joey, Matt and Julia during this time.
