    Beloved community member Daniel "Floor17" Anderzon has passed away

    FLOU ❤️


    As many of you already know our beloved friend and teammate, 
Daniel Anderzon - @Floor17, got hospitalized earlier this year after doctors through an MRI discovered a tumour in his brain.
    Prior to the discovery Daniel had been struggling with major seizures of migraine over the course of a month, forcing him to take a step back from gaming, NHL and the community.


    As doctors found out the tumour Wouldn't be operable, they put him on radiation therapy earlier this spring. Since then his body has been fighting off the cancer bravely - at times seeing progress with the tumour shrinking in size, at times being near collapse due to the tumour and treatment itself.
    This took its toll on Daniel. Earlier this week his body simply couldn't take anymore and we received the news that Daniel has passed away, surrounded by his family.


    As someone who's been around the community from day one, being one of the most well known players around, a pioneer for the entire scene for almost decade and a friend to so many, we would like to highlight who Daniel really was as a person. Having the opportunity to not only see the gamertag Floorbandy king or PSN-ID Floor17, but to really see the person behind it, is something we'll always treasure and the true value of being a part of Northern Stars through all these years.


    Gaming was what brought us together and what held us together.
    Ever since day one, 10 years ago, Daniel never really changed that much. Daniel were always Daniel, regardless if you got to know him at 16 or 26. Always humble, always a team player. Always the one wanting to play the support roles when the rest of us fooled around in other games, always the one taking a step back to help someone else taking three steps forward. Always ready to praise an opponent when beaten fair and square. It really defined him as a person. He always held his composure, both when playing and arguing, and has always been one of the major cornerstones in our team. Not only as a player, but as a leader in his own way and most importantly a friend to literally everyone who has ever come and gone throughout the years. The answer to how a team with cHIIMEERa and ma0niii as captains can last for a decade is as simple as Floor17. The youngest one of us, but yet the one who always kept our feet on the ground. We've always laughed at how he's always been like the grumpy but wise old man we've always needed.

    It's admirable how much he knew about players and people in our community. If anyone ever would deserve one of those top fan badges for anything, it'd be Daniel for our NHL-community. He always loved to see and hear about people's opinions, with or without joining the discussion, and always loved to keep track on players in every team at NHLGamer and loved to watch all of the hardcore VS-players take it out on each other in tournaments and GWC. It's probably pretty common to easily get a bit salty and grow tired of a scene once you've been on top of that stage yourself, but for Daniel it was always a pleasure to watch others succeed just as much as being a part of it himself.


    It feels surreal to write this text, as we're still in shock as it haven't really been able to sunk in yet. The constant in form of Daniel that's always been there for us when it comes down to NHL and Northern Stars is no more, it feels like we've lost our younger brother and this community has surely lost one of their brightest stars. 


    We're thankful for every moment spent playing, talking and hanging out with you IRL throughout the years. You're a proof that anyone who says video games isn't a social thing and that video games can't be as fulfilling and connective as sports is wrong. You're missed and will never be forgotten.

    We love you. @ma0niii & @cHIIMEERa

    A word from @Kenu, NHLGamer:

    On behalf of NHLGamer, I would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family, friends and teammates of Daniel in this tragic loss. Daniel was a beloved member of the community since day one and participated in all of our ECL seasons to date, racking up 199 games as a skater (123+163=286) and 2 games between the pipes (2W, 88,88%, 0,99 GAA, 1 SO). He was featured in one of our Hidden Gems articles during the ECL 5 season - you can read it here

    UPDATE:
    We set up a fundraiser with @cHIIMEERa for Daniel's family to help with the expenses related to his passing and the funeral.

    That was totally heartbreking news. I didnt knew him personally, but played against him for years and all of those years Floor was very hard to defend -just a great and skillfull player.

    Life can be so cruel and you will never know what gonna happent in the future. Everyone should live day by day and enjoy of every sunrise and remember to show love to your intimates.

    My deepest condolences to Floors family, friends and specially his teammates. Big fighting spirit for this black moment...

    I remember when he joined the same drop in game with me (i guess NHL12) and i was so hyped cause i knew he was one of the best players that i had ever seen. I got a penalty shot and i scored with my special move and after the game i was surprised cause floor sent me a message and told me that he likes to use that same move also and after that we started to talk more and play some drop in games together, One of the greatest players all time but especially such an amazing and kind person, rest in peace Daniel ❤💚

    In the world we live in these days, there's not that much news anymore that can really effect you in certain ways but this one did hit me very hard.

    It was a pleasure to defend against you. Rest in peace Floor. 💚

    I started playing with Daniel in 2009 with Swedish Tigers and then followed him to Northern Stars the year after. He was hands down my favourite player to play with. Always classy. Altough he was just a kid at the time he was mature and respectful. Paid so much interest to details. So insanely good at scoring goals.

    I think it was because of Ilya Kovalchuk he loved Atlanta Trashers so much. Which was a bit strange at the time. I also think that’s why he liked number 17.   It is sad I never get to meet him in person. He surely made an impression even though I only knew him during a couple of years.

    My sincere condolences to family and friends.

    Rest in peace, Daniel! 

     

     

    Unfortunately I didn't get to met him personally and didn't play very often against him, but what I can see from this text, he was a really good guy. A guy which is needed in times like this. 

     

    Loosing a friend this early in your life is one of the most heartbroken things that can happen :( I know that myself.

     

    All the best to his family, friends and the Northern Stars.

    Only have good things to say about Daniel, we hated him in NHL 09 because he was the "King of the Curveshot", but when I got to know him personally, I learned what a nice person he actually is, he really cared about his teammates. Great player as well, lost touch unfortunately when everybody moved to the Playstation. 

    Just shows you how fragile life can be, my deepest condolences to his family and friends!

    Rest in peace

    Feels good to be able to say that we, the community financed Daniels funeral. It should give his family some comfort to know how much love we had for him here.
