Hockey world is mourning the tragic loss of a longtime goaltender at age 64

The Jacksonville Community First Igloo Rink is a place for hockey players can have fun.

The rink itself is a testament to the growing sport of hockey as it offers multiple programs to grow the game with AAA and AAU hockey teams to play for.

Tragically, Louis Foster, a 64-year-old goalie, would be hit in the chest by a puck and would exit the game.

JSO and Jacksonville Fire and Rescue would show up to respond to the call after reports of Foster not feeling well would lead to him collapsing near the stands according to reports.

CPR would be administered with the help of bystanders.

An unfortunate series of events for the Foster family, who were in attendance for the game at the First Igloo Rink.

The Foster family would report no pre-existing medical conditions for Louis.

The game of hockey is a sport that is defined by struggle on the ice every night, as we see our favorite competitors put all of their effort into every game for our enjoyment.

The kind of effort we see from recreational players who never make the show as well, and Foster undoubtedly played the game with the kind of passion and love we all get from the world's greatest sport.

It's just sad that the sport he loved also took his life as a result of one incident, reminding us how precious life is.

We send our deepest condolences to Louis Foster's family, friends, colleagues, and teammates.
