Ex-Pens coach Hlinka killed in crash

Only 54-years old.

He coached the Czech team to gold in Nagano ('98) and was set to coach the Czech team in the World Cup of Hockey later this month.

Interesting that the car crash comes 1 year and 5 days after a car crash killed Herb Brooks, another coach who won Olympic gold.
