Ever since, nearly every team in the Worcester State Athletics Department has been honoring his memory in its own special way. These acts of remembrance include hanging his jersey at games, collecting donations for his family, and donning uniform patches emblazoned with his jersey number.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His passing has also brought students, coaches, and friends together, not just in mourning, but in reflection. In remembering Armit\u2019s kindness and infectious smile, athletes across campus have said they\u2019ve begun thinking more about what really matters in life. As Kate Stedronsky \u201926, senior captain of the women\u2019s volleyball team, put it: \u201cLosing someone in our community has allowed us to take a step back and look at the bigger picture.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs an athlete, you have to think about the person standing next to you,\u201d she said. \u201cWe have been reminded, though, that sports aren\u2019t just about wins and losses. They\u2019re about the relationships we build, and the impact we have on one another.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for Armit, the impact he had in his short time at Worcester State was huge. Junior Jessica Forbes \u201927, a member of the women\u2019s soccer team, was a classmate of Armit\u2019s. She said she was lucky for having had the chance to sit next to him in their financial accounting class. \u201cI instantly sensed he was a great person with an amazing outlook on life,\u201d she said. \u201cSeeing him around, he always had a smile on his face and never failed to say hello.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jude Hadi \u201927, a men\u2019s hockey player, teammate, and friend, recalled that Armit showed him \u201cwhat it meant to say yes to life.\u201d \u201cEvan was all in, always, for a new adventure,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat made him truly irreplaceable, though, was the fact that he was a friend to everybody. No matter where we were, he would make friends with complete strangers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Armit\u2019s impact was not just felt in the Athletics Department, but across campus. As a sophomore, he was selected to serve the campus community as a residential advisor, in part for his \u201cability to connect with others and make every person feel valued,\u201d said Director of Residence Life Kristen Nelson. \u201cEvan was more than just a first- year RA, dedicated athlete, and outstanding student,\u201d she said. \u201cHe brought a contagious energy to our community, one grounded in kindness, inclusivity, and a genuine passion for helping others.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given Armit\u2019s impact on campus, teams across the university rallied throughout the fall semester to honor his legacy. The women\u2019s soccer team dedicated a \u201cBlack Out\u201d game in his honor. During the game, players wore yellow ribbons marked with Armit\u2019s jersey number <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11 in black, the symbolic color for melanoma awareness. His jersey also was hung along the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sidelines during the match, surrounded by donations collected for his family. The women\u2019s volleyball team, meanwhile, hung his jersey on their sidelines during matches, while players <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wore black ribbons on their shoes. Even before his passing, the community was rallying around <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Armit. The Rosen Cancer Awareness Fund, for example, partnered with the university\u2019s hockey <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">teams to auction jerseys and made a donation to the hospital where Armit was treated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEvan was one of those rare people whose presence impacted everyone around him. He <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">embraced the values we preach as a student-athlete community,\u201d continued Stedronsky, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">who, in addition to captaining the women\u2019s volleyball team, is a NCAA Student-Athlete Advisory Committee president. \u201cHonoring Evan\u2019s legacy is extremely important to us, as it serves as a constant reminder that we are lucky to be a part of something greater than ourselves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Armit grew up in Dryden, Ontario, where he played junior league hockey for the Winnipeg <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freeze and Islander Hockey Club, before enrolling at Worcester State and becoming a member <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of the men\u2019s ice hockey team. While a student, he studied business. After his initial cancer diag<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nosis, he underwent surgery to remove a lesion on his heel, which left him determined to come back stronger than ever. Unfortunately, in October of 2024, his cancer returned, which he fought valiantly for nearly a year before passing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, his legacy of kindness is still felt around campus, while across the Athletics Department, the number 11 now serves as a shining symbol of the selflessness, empathy, courage, compassion, determination, and perseverance his loved ones say he so embodied.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe will never forget the remarkable person Evan was,\u201d added Forbes, of the women\u2019s soccer team. \u201cAnd we will continue to honor him, knowing he is watching over all of us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Athletes across campus celebrated Evan Armit\u2019s legacy of kindness in game action this fall.
