The German ice hockey world is in shock. An 18-year-old fell into the gang in an encounter with the youth league and fell so miserably that he succumbed to his injuries.
A young player from the second division ice hockey team Löwen Frankfurt died five days after a tough duel. According to the DEL2 club, the 18-year-old fell into the gang in an encounter with the DNL III junior league and fell so unhappy that he suffered severe head injuries, which he succumbed to on Thursday.
“After long and intensive efforts by the doctors and caregivers in the last few days, the news puts us in a state of shock and deep sadness,” said Patrick Steingraf, Sports Director at the Lions Offspring: “For the family, this is after days of hope and fear the worst thing you can imagine. “
The player had been operated on directly
The duel in the game against the Rote Teufel Bad Nauheim was tough, but “something that is part of ice hockey as well as many other sports”. The player was operated on directly, the doctors had exhausted all medically available options.
“Sports operations are suspended until further notice, as it should be in this situation,” said Steingraf. The player’s brother also plays for the U20 and had to witness the tragic accident. “And we are also thinking of the opponent of the Red Devils Bad Nauheim, for whom the whole thing will certainly be difficult to cope with,” said Steingraf.
