Rest in Peace
In his eight professional appearances in the AIHL, Skotis went 3-5-0 which is not the best, but the record does not mean Skotis didn't have the skill as he was starting to show some big promise as he started to age.
Teammates and players in the Greek hockey community described Dimitris Skotis as a well-liked goaltender who was respected by his teammates and peers.
Although the reason has not been revealed on how Skotis ended up passing away, it's unfortunate to see someone at such a young age pass and have more than half of their life taken away.
Everyone at Bruinsinsider is sending their thoughts and prayers to the Skotis family, and anyone else effected by this tragic news.
May Dimitris Rest in Peace.
