On December 13th, some awful news was released as it was announced Philadelphia Flyers forward Oskar Lindblom was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer.

Since the diagnosis, there has been an enormous amount of support from fans and players alike. Many are wearing the #OskarStrong t-shirts in support of the young Swede forward. And now, two more teams have stepped up in order to support the cause.

As you can see in the photos above, both the Arizona Coyotes as well as the New Jersey Devils have stepped up to support Lindblom. Wayne Simmonds, who posted the second picture with a few of his teammates, played with Lindblom for parts of two seasons with the Flyers.

The New York Rangers are another team who have bought and wore the t-shirts to raise awareness. Although the reasoning behind it is a very unfortunate result, it is a true reminder of just how tight knitted the hockey community is, both fans and players alike.
