South Korea's first-ever Olympic goal scorer Minho Cho passes away
Some sad news to report in the hockey world. After an eight-month battle with lung cancer, South Korea's first-ever Olympic goal scorer Minho Cho has passed away on Wednesday at the age of 35.
Cho first appeared with the South Korean national team in 2008 and was a mainstay on their World Championship and Olympic qualifying rosters for years to come. 2018 was a big year for South Korean hockey as they hosted the Winter Olympics and participated in the top division of the World Championship for the first-time.
In four games at the 2018 Olympics, Cho had one goal, no penalty minutes and was a minus-four. Meanwhile in four games at the 2018 World Championship, he didn't record any points or penalty minutes and was a minus-three.
Our thoughts are with Minho Cho's family at this time.
