The Philadelphia Flyers and Lehigh Valley Phantoms both announced the sudden passing of former player Tony Voce on July 8.
Voce was a Philadelphia native—the first to ever sign with the Flyers organization— and enjoyed a significant amount of success in his three seasons with the team, including winning a Calder Cup with the Philadelphia Phantoms during the 2004-2005 season.
He holds the Phantoms' franchise record as the only player to score four goals in a single game. He finished his Phantoms career with 115 points (58 goals, 57 assists) in 181 games.
He also played four years for Boston College, where he recorded 90 goals and 77 assists, and won a national championship in 2001. As a senior, he finished second in the nation for goals scored, was a Hobey Baker finalist, and won the Norman F. Bailey Award twice for being the team MVP. He was inducted into the Boston College Varsity Club Hall of Fame in 2022.
Voce was 43 years old at the time of his passing. No cause of death has been released.
