Former Philadelphia Flyers passed away at 43
Sad news in the hockey world as former Philadelphia Flyers prospect Tony Voce passed away at 43, as reported by the 'Missin Curfew' podcast.
Voce, a Philadelphia native, stood out at Boston College, amassing 167 points in 159 games. In 2004, he turned pro and signed with his hometown team, the Philadelphia Flyers, as an undrafted free agent.
Voce spent most of his career in the minors, including three seasons in the AHL with the Philadelphia Phantoms and Grand Rapids Griffins. He was part of the Phantoms team that won the Calder Cup in 2005. His career also took him to Germany, Finland, and Austria before he returned to North America in 2009 to play for the Ontario Reign in the ECHL, retiring at the end of that season.
"Sad to learn that Tony Voce, former Philadelphia Phantom and Boston College player has passed away at age 43. Voce was born in Philly and was a friend of @larryfknflowers. Rest in Peace Tony," expressed one of his friends.
During this difficult time, we pray with Voce's family and friends.
