Earlier today @roybelly and I caught up with @Jakemaurice_ to chat about the Florida Everblades building a dynasty, their amazing fan base and the push to have more championship rings than his father.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Johan Nilsson, the founder of Elite Prospects and the person whose curiosity and passion for hockey planted the seed for everything we have built together.
Born on the 9th of April 1981, Johan founded Elite Prospects in December 1999 at just 18 years old. What started as a vision driven by a deep love of hockey grew into the world’s leading hockey platform, a testament to the kind of person he was. Johan had a rare combination of qualities: sharp intellect, deep knowledge, and a kindness that made everyone around him feel valued.
He could dive into the most complex problems with calm and clarity, and he brought that same thoughtfulness to the people he worked with every day. For the past nine years, Johan faced a battle with colon cancer with the same calm and strength that defined everything he did.
His love of hockey was never just about the game. It was about understanding it fully, honestly, and in all its detail. That drive is woven into the DNA of Elite Prospects, and it will continue to shape the future of what we do.
To know Johan was to be quietly inspired by him. We are all immensely grateful that we got to work alongside someone like him. Our deepest condolences go to his family and loved ones. He will be greatly missed, by all of us and by the global hockey community. Johan leaves behind his beloved wife and two children, aged two and eight.
Huge congratulations to Paul Maurice on reaching his 2,000th career game behind the bench tonight with the Florida Panthers 🏒🔥
That’s not just a number… that’s a lifetime of passion, leadership, and love for the game.
I’ll never forget the moment I shared with you at the parade two years ago. It meant more to me than words can explain. Thank you for taking the time, for being genuine, and for always showing love to us fans.
Coach, you’re not just building a team… you’re building memories for a whole community.
From all of us in Panther Territory… THANK YOU 🙏🏼🐾
