Not sure if the contact was like the Malarchuk incident. This is so sad for his family and the hockey community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamboni Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 @Skooby please get this 100% confirmed by a couple reputable believable sources. Or change the title, or lock it down. This kind of stuff is terrible to post if it’s not true. Poor taste. Thanks 👍🏼 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveoath Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Elite league have confirmed that Adam died as result of freak collision. They have postponed all fixtures as mark of respect. This Just awful, and thoughts/prayers to his family. BBC news confirm nature of accident. I feel sick just reading the headline. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/ice-hockey/67253892 Edited October 29, 2023 by steveoath 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookie1 Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 May he RIP, I had really hoped he might pull through. 11 minutes ago, Skooby said: All you guys begging for confirmation went silent when it arrived, I was hoping for a little more sympathy for us all instead of skepticism. Are you hater all under 25 YO ?? Grow up. Let’s clean up the rumor in the title too Based on this, asking for proof about death is somehow hating? You hadn't even provided a link for your source. Moreover, there were some conflicting reports and a lack of accredited sources involved. Are you related to or personally knew him? If that were the case you would need to preface that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slack_in_MA Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 This happened to the son of one of my college fraternity brothers a few years ago in a prep school game in CT. So tragically sad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
