Already shaking our heads in disbelief, along comes another blow.Someone you know is among the carnage.</span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

That's when fate stuck them in the middle of a historically tragic event.The hockey community is well-known for being a tight-knit group. When the news struck that Bavis was among those lost when a plane was deliberately slammed into the side of one of the World Trade Center Twin Towers, word spread quickly.</span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
