The hockey community is in mourning following the passing of former Edmonton Oilers player, Petr Klima, at the age of 58. Klima spent five seasons with the Oilers between 1989 and 1993, as well as a brief stint during the 1996-97 season. In his time with the team, he was a prolific scorer, racking up 119 goals and 209 points in 274 games. He was also an integral part of the Oilers' Stanley Cup-winning team in 1990.
A tweet from Eric J. Friesen's Twitter account highlights the impact Klima had on the Oilers community. His contributions to the team's success will always be remembered, and his legacy will continue to inspire future generations of hockey players. Klima's passing is a reminder of the fragility of life, and he will be greatly missed. Rest in peace, Petr Klima. Once an Oiler, always an Oiler.
