Swiss hockey great Chappot dies due to COVID-19
Former ice hockey player Roger Chappot, who played more than 100 games for Switzerland's national team including at the 1964 Winter Olympics, has died due to COVID-19. He was 79.
The International Ice Hockey Federation says Chappot was first treated at a hospital two weeks ago. He returned home before his condition became worse on Apil 1 and he was admitted to an intensive care unit.
The IIHF says Chappot "was a legend in the French-speaking part of Switzerland and one of the best centers in the country in the '60s."
