The statement added: “It is unbelievably sad to think that he will never get to hear the audience’s tactful shouts in Eidsiva Arena and that we who sat in the stands will not get to see the player with the big smile, the extra feint or the hard-hitting shot from the drop circle in the power play.
“Rest in Peace, No. 61. You will always be remembered as an artist. “Our thoughts and condolences go out to family, girlfriend and team-mates.”
