Allsports article on the deaths in the hockey community.With the latest catastrophe being the plane crash that wiped out the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team of the KHL
Allsports here for some sad sports news and sports on the web. The summer has not been too kind to the NHL and the hockey community in general. Just when the NHL was getting over the tragic deaths of Derek Boogaard and Rick Rypien. Wade Belak kills himself, apparently by hanging. This was reported but not confirmed. To send the hockey community reeling once again.
To top off the miserable news Wednesday morning was even worse. TSN was the first to report on the horrific scene from Russia. It was reported that a private jet carrying the KHL team Lokomotiv Yaroslavl appeared to be struggling to gain altitude after leaving the Yaroslavl airport. It then clipped a signal tower and disintegrated into pieces, with most of the the remains settling on the shores of the Volga River. The plane was a Yak-42 with 45 people on board and only two survived. Officials said Russian player Alexander Galimov survived the crash along with a crew member. It was said that Galimov had burns to 80% of his body, not very good odds for survival.
