(93.7 The Fan) Eric Fehr played 107 games with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the ladder stage of his career.
He now plays for Genève-Servette HC of the National League, the professional hockey league in Switzerland.
With fears of Coronavirus taking over Europe, professional hockey games have been played in empty arenas.
