Making this very page non-public is a mistake imo. Because of this some passed away ex-players, especially less famous / less known / less public, still might be listed on many public resources as alive.

Only three NHL games with Winnipeg Jets, but a notable career in minor leagues, mostly with Kansas City Blades.
In 2001 he moved to Italy and later got the citizenship, playing in the Olympic team in 2006, as well as in four World Championships.

A sad/f***ed up realization of mine is that I’ve only heard of three professional hockey players who are/were gay. One is Nashville prospect Luke Prokop, but the other two were murdered.

Another former Luleå player. He shared names with a Swedish musician, yet I knew the name rang a bell for another reason as I read the headline. Luleå during the lockout season was his final team before retiring. He was acquired to replace Daniel Henriksson who was a pretty talented goalie who’d done well filling Jarmo Myllys’ skates after the latter returned to Finland, but Antila was apparently plagued by injuries and he’s featured on a list of the worst player acquisitions in team history. I guess Antila’s struggles was how come Manny Fernandez joined later in the season.
At any rate, he was a talented goalie prospect and has tragically passed way too soon at 44.
