Shocking news, in what has to be one of the darkest summers in the history of ice hockey.

My thoughts go out to the families and friends of those who have died in this tragic accident.

Awful news. This has been a such a sad off-season.

I see Karlis Skrastins is among those who died. I saw him play in the NHL a few years ago. My thoughts are with the families and friends of all involved in this tragic accident.

dark day for sport around the world. I remember watching Demitra on telly when i was a kid and i though he was class

My thoughts with the friends of families of those who were involved.

Here's a New York Times article on the KHL.

One thing I find curious: the names on their backs on in Latin letters, not Kyrilic.

Today is the 2nd anniversary of the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl air disaster.

2 years, wow. Seems like a lot longer. We lost a good number of quality hockey players that day, and so many kids lost a parent. Tragic to think about it.
