Sad news has been revealed today that former USHL and college hockey player, Chad Demers has tragically passed away at 33-years-old.
The hockey community is once again the former Airforce Academy and Fargo Force star has lost his 6-year battle with Brain cancer.
Demers played for the Fargo Force of the USHL for 3 seasons and then continued his career and education apart of Air Force Academy in the NCAA. where he worked as a coach. He was someone who his players loved, and his teammates and coaches did as well.
"Demers scored 65 (23+42) points in 117 games with the Fargo Force 🇺🇸 of the USHL from 2008-2011, being named captain for his final season. He went on to play for the Air Force Academy 🇺🇸 and scored 126 (48+78) points in 156 games in the NCAA.
After his passing, it is clear that he made a major impact on the hockey community, as former teammates and friends have taken to social media to talk about how much he meant to them.
"Chad was one of my best friends for over 30 years, childhood friend Kody Stark said. Through all of his struggles the past six years, he still always asked me how I was doing, how my family was. It was never about him. Everything was for the people he loved. You won't find one teammate, player he coached - or coach he coached with - that wouldn't say he was the smartest hockey mind in the room, even with his illness. He was the greatest Spoiler of all-time. I'll remember him always."
