It has been 35 years since the tragic death of Saskatchewan hockey player Duncan MacPherson in Austria, yet his parents are still searching for answers.
MacPherson, who was just 19 years old at the time, was playing for the Canadian national junior hockey team in a tournament in Europe when he suddenly collapsed on the ice during a game against the Soviet Union. Despite efforts to revive him, he was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The cause of MacPherson’s death has been a mystery for his parents, who have been tirelessly seeking answers and closure for over three decades. They have been in contact with various organizations and individuals, including the Canadian government, the International Ice Hockey Federation, and even the Soviet team’s doctor, but have yet to receive a definitive explanation.
According to his parents, MacPherson was a healthy and fit young man with no known medical conditions. They believe that his death was a result of foul play or negligence, and have been pushing for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding his passing.
Despite their efforts, the MacPhersons have faced numerous roadblocks and have been met with silence and lack of cooperation from those involved. They have also faced criticism and skepticism from some who believe that they should let go of the past and move on.
However, the MacPhersons remain determined to find the truth and honor their son’s memory. They have set up a website and social media pages to share their story and gather support, and have also started a petition to urge the Canadian government to reopen the case.
As the years go by, the MacPhersons continue to hold onto hope that one day they will have the closure they seek. They want to ensure that their son’s death was not in vain and that justice is served. Until then, they will not stop their search for answers.
