Eric Lindquist, the former voice of the Worcester Sharks and Worcester Railers HC, has died at 43-years-old.
The Worcester Railers HC announced Lindquist's death Tuesday on social media.
"The Railers are heartbroken by the sudden passing of Eric Lindquist," the team announced. "His legacy will be carried on through the memory of his larger-than-life personality that left smiles on the faces of everyone he knew. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends."
Lindquist grew up in North Andover and graduated from Northeastern University in Boston in 2001.
A lover of game shows, Lindquist was a "Wheel of Fortune" Teen Champ and won Showcase on "The Price is Right."
He began his career in Los Angeles where he worked as an assistant production coordinator for TBS' "The Real Gilligan's Island" and a casting director for FOX reality TV shows including "Renovate My Family" and "Trading Spouses".
Lindquist began his broadcasting career with the Lowell Lock Monsters as the color commentator for the baseball team in 2004. He was with the team until 2006 when he traveled back to California to Long Beach where he worked as the play-by-play broadcaster for the Long Beach Ice Dogs, a former ECHL team, for a year before joining the Worcester Sharks as the director of public relations and broadcasting.
Lindquist spent almost eight years with the Worcester Sharks before he and the AHL team moved to San Jose, where he would spend a little over a year calling games and handling public relations for the team.
He made his return to Worcester in 2016 after joining the Worcester Railers HC as the vice president of marketing and communications. He continued to work as a play-by-play broadcaster and called his 1,000th pro hockey game on Feb. 27, 2018. He left the organization in 2021 but continued to work for team owner Cliff Rucker in various capacities.
He most recently worked as director of communications for Rucker's Off The Rails restaurant.
