A friend of mine was a semi-professional Ice Hockey player - fit as a fiddle having played for several Scottish and English teams at National league level. He was training the youngsters at out local rink one evening when he keeled over on the ice with a massive heart attack at age 42. Huge shock to everybody to think it could happen to someone with his level of fitness.
His wife happens to be my grand-daughter's teaching assistant and at a memorial game my grand-daughter presented her with one of his game-worn shirts I had with his name and number on the back. Brought a tear to the eye!
Life's too short? Absolutely!
