Our thoughts and prayers at TheHockeySpot go out to coach John Van Boxmeer and his family. Van Boxmeer, 55, suffered a heart attack last week, but is not expected to miss any time coaching Swiss club Bern. A former NHL player and coach, Van Boxmeer crossed the Atlantic two years ago to coach in Switzerland after a stint as an assistant coach to Andy Murray in Los Angeles.
Van Boxmeer's team is scheduled to face off against the NHL's New York Rangers on September 30th as part of the Victoria Cup tournament.
Get well soon coach.
