The sad news was shared to the hockey world on Monday by the 'Missin Curfew' podcast. Voce also played in the AHL for the Philadelphia Phantoms. He was only 43 years old.
Voce was born in Philadelphia and played very well while at Boston College in the NCAA for the four years he was there. He totaled 167 points in 159 career games. In 2004, he signed a professional contract with the Flyers, via free agency, as he was never drafted.
Voce never really had any NHL success, as he spent his entire career in the minors. He did win the Calder Cup in 2005, after which he flew overseas to Europe to play for teams in Finland, Austria, and Germany. In 2009 he packed his bags and headed back to North America, where he played with the Ontario Reign, which was a team in the ECHL, after which Tony retired.
Condolences go out to Tony's family. He will be missed.
