Written by Posted on Less than 0 min read

The Hungarian floorball community is in shock after 21-year old Origo SE’s goalkeeper Gergő Tollár passed away.

The tragic incident occurred during the warm-up of Origo SE’s match in the Hungarian 1st Division on 12 January 2019. The passing means a devastating loss to his family, friends, team mates and the Hungarian floorball community. Because of the tragic passing, the Hungarian Floorball Federation has asked all clubs to hold 1 minute of silence before next weekend’s matches.

In Memoriam: Gergő Tollár
