Tobias Eder has spent his entire pro hockey career in his home country of Germany. After four seasons with Duesseldorf, the 26-year-old forward started 2023-24 with Eisbaren Berlin, or in English, the Berlin Polar Bears, and went on to win the DEL championship with the team. Eder then went on to represent Germany at the 2024 IIHF World Hockey Championship. After a summer break, Eder recently met back up with his teammates in Berlin to start preparing for 2024-25, but was hit with some awful news. In a news release, Eibaren Berlin said
routine testing revealed the Eder is "seriously Ill," and that a malignant tumor has been discovered.
