(Fisg press release) – The Italian Ice Sports Federation painfully learns the news of the death of Tom Milani , which took place on 29 December last, and fondly remembers the former ice hockey player with a long militancy both in the Italian championship and in the national team.

Milani was born in Canada in Thunder Bay , and moved to Italy , the homeland of her family, in the early 1980s.

In Serie A he wore the shirts of Bolzano , Asiago , Brunico , Como , Merano , Varese and Fiemme, winning two league titles with Merano and Varese. Moreover, since 1981 he has been a fixed point of the national team, being part of the first “batch” of natives who helped Italy to reach positions of absolute prestige on a world level.

After his debut in blue, dated 11 September 1980 in Villach in a friendly match with VSV, Milani played 115 games until 1986, scoring 38 goals and 33 assists.

“I had the pleasure of playing with him in Asiago – remembers the president of the FISG , Andrea Gios – when I appeared in the first team – together with Dave Tomassoni and Tom Ross he formed what we called” the 3 Toms band”, And contributed decisively to our growth. As an opponent I remember him above all for the defeat in the 1986 Scudetto final when he played for Merano ”.

“With the national team jersey – adds the director of the FISG hockey sector, Tommaso Teofoli – he participated in the historic World Championship in Ortisei 1981, when Italy returned to the elite of world hockey: in two other group A world championships in 1982 and 1983; at the 1984 Sarajevo Olympics; and two other Group B World Championships ”.

Tom Milani passed away in recent days at the age of 69 in Thunder Bay, in the Canadian state of Ontario.
