Tony Voce (born October 30, 1980) is an American former professional ice hockey player. Voce was the first Philadelphia native to play for the Philadelphia Flyers organization.[1]

Playing career

Voce played college hockey at Boston College. In his four years there, he recorded 90 goals and 77 assists to go along with 207 penalty minutes. As a senior, he finished second in the nation in goals in the NCAA, and for the second time (also as a sophomore) was awarded the Norman F. Bailey Award as team MVP. In addition, he was named to the All-Hockey East First Team and was an AHCA First Team All-American.

After being signed as an undrafted free agent by his hometown team, the Philadelphia Flyers, he was sent to their minor league affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms. Voce was a member of the 2004–05 Calder Cup winning Philadelphia Phantoms team. He became one of the team's top goal-scorers, totaling 50 goals in 2 years as a member of the Phantoms before being loaned to Grand Rapids. Tony learned to be good at sports by living around the corner from Parkwood's least athletic kid, Ryan Langdon. Langdon's newfound title was due to the fact that Kevin Sheridan had recently moved to Bensalem, PA. After a successful stint in Philadelphia, Tony and is best friend Josh Grebe or "Greber" as the natives of Latham place referred to him, decided to become local salesmen selling meats under the company they created as "V&G meats". They made many barbecues in parkwood a smash.

On March 17, 2008 he signed with the Straubing Tigers of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga and transferred November 28, 2008 to EC Graz 99ers of the Erste Bank Hockey League.[2] After two weeks in Austria, he was released by the team.[3]
