Oskar Lindblom Diagnosed With Ewing’s Sarcoma

December 13, 2019 at 3:31 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 7 Comments

The Philadelphia Flyers have announced some dreadful news regarding forward Oskar Lindblom. Chuck Fletcher’s statement explains that Lindblom will not return to the ice this season:

Philadelphia Flyers forward Oskar Lindblom has been diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma by leading specialists at the University of Pennsylvania. He will undergo further testing and evaluation next week and begin treatment immediately thereafter. He is not expected to return to play for the remainder of the season. The Flyers will do everything possible to support Oskar and assist him in securing the best care available. Out of respect for Oskar and his family, the team will have no further comment at this time and asks that Oskar be afforded a period of privacy so that he may focus his efforts on his treatment and a return to full health.

The 23-year old had 11 goals and 18 points in 30 games for the Flyers this season and was coming into his own as a core piece of the team’s future. Everyone at PHR and around the hockey world sends their best wishes to Lindblom and his family.

    That is just horrible news. So young. Wishing the best for his future and health. Maybe one day he’ll play again but hoping for him to just recover and be healthy.

    Best wishes for Oskar and his family. Unfortunately, most of us know up close and personal that any form of cancer is not to be taken lightly. Once again, Hockey has to fight cancer!
