Oskar Lindblom is a beloved players by Flyers fans, and throughout the sport of hockey. Last night was Hockey Fights Cancer Night, as orchestrated through the NHL.

Without further delay here are some great photos and videos of Oskar Lindblom’s tribute.
Oskar Lindblom:
“A lot of emotions (Last Night). To be able to play this game again, play in the NHL, it’s the best league in the world, and still manage to be out there and compete, so it’s a great feeling. I’m just happy to be able to play here and play again. It was emotional to be honest. I didn’t expect to react like that when I skated on the ice. Just a lot of emotion and try to take it all in and focus on the game, but it was tough. It’s been a tough year, or more than a year. Like I said, to be able to be out with this team, it’s amazing. I will remember that for the rest of my life.”
One thing is for certain Oskar. The City of Philadelphia is with you, and will be forever. #OskarStrong
