Hockey world shaken after another untimely death

The hockey world is once again left reeling after yet another untimely death.

Indonesia Ice Hockey is mourning the death of Aditya Rama Putra, who was in preparations to participate in the IIHF World Championship. He was only 37.  He's participated in the likes of the 2018 IIHF Ice Hockey Challenge Cup of Asia and the 2017 Asian Winter Games.

Right now, there has been no cause of death listed, but his sudden passing wasn't expected.

In a statement, the IIHF said: "Rama left a legacy of commitment and determination to become a better player. He was also an idol for the younger generation. A lot of young kids would come to the rink just to have an opportunity to watch him and the team practice, so they can learn how to be like him, who is considered as one of the best player Indonesia has ever had. His character that full of fun and his humble personality would always be something to be missed from the whole organization and anyone who had the opportunity to know him."
