Tony Voce Cause of Death

Former American professional ice hockey player, Tony Voce has died. He died on July 8, 2024, at the age of 43. The actual cause of his death is unknown.

Tony Voce’s passion for hockey was evident early in his life, leading him to play college hockey at Boston College. During his four years with the Eagles, Voce showcased his exceptional skills, recording 90 goals and 77 assists, along with 207 penalty minutes. His senior year was particularly noteworthy, as he finished second in the nation in goals in the NCAA. Voce’s outstanding performance earned him the Norman F. Bailey Award twice as the team’s MVP, first as a sophomore and then as a senior. Additionally, he was named to the All-Hockey East First Team and was an AHCA First Team All-American.

Voce’s professional career began when he was signed as an undrafted free agent by his hometown team, the Philadelphia Flyers. Although he did not play for the Flyers in the NHL, he made a significant impact with their minor league affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms. Voce was an integral part of the 2004-05 Calder Cup-winning Phantoms team, becoming one of the team’s top goal-scorers with 50 goals over two years. His stellar performance with the Phantoms earned him a loan to the Grand Rapids Griffins.

In 2007, Voce ventured overseas to further his career, signing with Ilves of the SM-liiga. Despite a brief stint of just five games, Voce quickly found a new home with Grizzlys Wolfsburg of the German Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL). His journey continued as he signed with the DEL’s Straubing Tigers in March 2008 and later transferred to EC Graz 99ers of the Erste Bank Hockey League in Austria. However, his time in Austria was short-lived, and he was released after two weeks with the team.
