BERLIN (AP) — Tobias Eder, who played on the
German national hockey team at last year's world championships,
has died following treatment for cancer, his club said
Wednesday. He was 26.
The Eisbaeren Berlin club said Eder, who was diagnosed with a
malignant tumor in August, had “succumbed to complications from
cancer.”
“We are shocked, deeply saddened and stunned,” the club posted
on Instagram. “Unfortunately Tobi did not win his hardest fight.
It is impossible to find the right words now.”
Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl posted a photo of Eder on
his Instagram account with the message: “Rest in peace, Toni.”
Eder played three games for Germany at last year's world
championships, scoring one goal against Slovakia in a 6-4 win.
“We remember the many funny, beautiful and special moments that
we were able to experience with Tobi and say goodbye with great
gratitude for the time we spent together,” the German hockey
federation said in a statement.
“At the same time, our thoughts are with his family, his
fiancée, his friends and teammates, who of course have our full
support during these difficult days.”
