BREAKING: Goaltender found DEAD on a dirt road close to his home.

Markus Olsson was listed on McKeen’s 2017 NHL prospect list as a promising goaltender.

Olsson was a 6ft2, 165-pound goaltender playing for Modo Hockey Ornskoldsvsk. Some scouting reports were arguing he could have been playing in North America after this season.

The 20-year-old goaltender was reportedly missing late on Saturday after having dinner with some friends in Sweden. Few hours later, police officers found his body on a dirt road close to his home as some other media are reporting the police found his body in the lake close to the same dirt road. At this stage, it’s unclear what happened exactly.

We only know that he left the tavern, after that he is missing and then found him in the water. There is nothing to indicate trouble or anything else,” said the Swedish police officer.

The whole hockey world is under shock. Here’s Linus Söderström (Olsson teammate) paying tribute to his colleague. HV goaltender put a sticker on his goalie mask with Markus Olsson’s initials.

Our thoughts and prayer with his friend and family.
