Arturs Irbe GOAT latvia goalie
Mattis played a short time for our echl team (kwings) I remember the first time we was able to meet him he took time to talk and listen to my son (who stutters and gets nervous very easy). Mattis told my son never give up on your dreams. If you dream it you can succeed and make it a reality. My son has this written out to read daily. Mattis will always have a special place in this mommas heart. The day he passed was like one of our family members passed. Go rest high Mattis. Hope your enjoying that big ice rink in the sky.
It cringes me to hear how the Latvian names are pronounced, but otherwise well done. We Latvians are few but proud, and when one of us is stricken with tragedy, we all are. Matīss, tu bīji varēns spēlētājs un labāks cilvēks. Tu esi mīlēts un trūkst no vairāk nekā Tu domā
So sad . Also the dog kissing Knox is the cutest thing ever.
im not crying, you are, shut up!
Matīss, tu vienmēr paliksi atmiņā!
As a goalie for 17 years, I see life through the eyes of a goalie. I study the position, the game I love. I am a Devils and Russian fan. It is AMAZING that ANY lineup from Latvia defeats ANY Canada team. I wonder if that was his last win or game? This is a BEAUTIFUL story of friendship. As A Devils fan I have NOT been happy with our scouting for goalies. I really like Blackwood but for the past two years I have LOVED watching Blue Jackets hockey because of the goaltending. Sadly I was not able to see any games last year due to injuries and other I sustained. I have been wanting the Devils to trade for one of the three goalies in CBJ land. I am glad we did not now, I would not want to break up what they had. I LOVE LOVE the mask Elvis had made, especially the wings on 80. When I heard about this I cried. CBJ have GREAT jerseys, I wish I could get them but I am Devils fan but a hockey first. Hope I can one day, maybe Latvia. I am so sorry and for this to be his last save? I am NOT a fan of ESPN talent, but this was a great special….THANK YOU. Keep strong Elvis and family #80 HERO!
I can’t watch this video without crying 4 different times.
Rip #80
This is very sad. Tear dropped from the eye. R.I.P. buddy
The memorial at the opening night after he died was very sad.. Im positive they wanted to honor him by trying to get 8-0 but they got 8-2 which is unbelievable but his death was tragic.. He will forever be remembered

I had the great honor of playing against him in juniors in the MnJHL. He was so damn good for Edina. He carried that team on his back. He earned everything he got in his life. He was so dedicated to the game. I miss him so much.

Tev mūžam dzīvot mūsu atmiņās🇱🇻🤟🏻🏅
This is tragic….but unless this is poorly told, he didn't save anyone, he was simply in the way and took the impact.
Matīss best pleyer for ever!
R.I.P Matiss Kivleniekswe miss you as a latvian ice hockey fan you were the best
Im from Latvia and im very sad about what happened but in 2023 hockey championship we got a new goalie and he got the award for the most valuble player in the tournament and his name is Artūrs Šilovs RIP Matīss Kivlenieks
