The hockey community endures a tragic loss of 31-year old on Sunday
The International Hockey Community suffered a tragic loss, as Norwegian hockey player, Alexander Reichenberg passed away.
He was only 31 and had dreams of eventually playing in the NHL one day, and played throughout Europe and for the Norwegian National Olympic Team.
He had never gotten a shot at his dreams at NHL play but played throughout Austria, Czechia, and Sweden during his career.
We regret to announce the passing of professional hockey player and former player of the Norweigian National Team, Alexander Reichenberg at the age of 31.
Reichenberg had 21 goals, 44 points through 41 games played with Lillehammer in the Norweigian league this season. He also had stints in Czechia, Sweden, and Austria in his career.
With Norway's national team, he played 50 games, including suiting up at the 2018 Olympic Games. He had 11 goals, 24 points in that span
It is tragic Reichenberg never saw his dream through and passed away so young.
We offer our deepest condolences to the Reichenbergs, their family, friends, and teammates who knew Alexander.
