Sad And Shocking Hockey News

I almost couldn't believe my eyes as I read this breaking news about the death of 19 year old New York Rangers prospect, Alexei Cherepanov, at the end of a game today in Europe. This would be a shocking development to me even if he hadn't been drafted in the first round by my favourite sports team, but add in that element and I'm practically speechless. 19 years of age is way, way too young to shuffle off this mortal coil at.

My thoughts go out to the Cherepanov family, his teammates on the Omsk hockey team, and the members of the New York Rangers organization.
