Jindro, you'll be in our hearts forever!

Jindro Mayer was the Development Program coach for Ski Jumping in Canada when he and his 8 year old daughter had their lives cut short in a tragic accident. Jindro and his four children were on their way to a Calgary Hitmen hockey game when a two-car collision occurred on a strip of icy highway.

A News Release is available from the Calgary Canadian Sports Center 4 January 2005 archives.

The Annual Springer Tournee competition was inaugurated in September 2005 in memory of Jindro Mayer.
