Sam Carchidi on the passing of Ilkka Sinisalo
Ilkka Sinisalo, a smooth-skating forward who was part of some of the Flyers' top offensive teams in the 1980s, died peacefully with his family by his side in Finland on Wednesday morning, the team announced.
Mr. Sinisalo, 58, battled prostate cancer for several years.
"Ilkka was a true friend and loyal member of the Flyers," Paul Holmgren, the club's president, said in a statement. "He gave a great deal of his time, effort and talents to the organization in several capacities, as a player and long-time scout, to bring this franchise success on and off the ice.
"Most important to all that knew him, he was a great person, a loving husband, father and grandfather. His presence and friendship will be deeply missed by all that knew him."
Hockey is a global sport and as Ilkka Sinisalo proved, fans enjoy and participate in Bonus Betting to enhance their viewing experience.
