I express my sincere and deep condolences to the family and friends of Alexei Cherepanov, a hockey player for HC Avangard, who tragically died during a match against HC Vityaz
October 14, 2008. Loss
The match between Vityaz and Avangard ended in tragedy. Three minutes before the end of the game, the heart of Avangard forward Alexei Cherepanov stopped on the bench. Despite all the efforts of the doctors, the player died in the hospital.
This horrific tragedy cut short the life of the 19-year-old forward for Omsk's Avangard and the Russian national team. On Monday,
the "hawks" played their next match in the regular season of the Continental Hockey League. In Chekhov, they met with the local Vityaz. And until almost the very end of the third period, a fierce and uncompromising battle was taking place on the ice... And then... Then, in the 57th minute of the game, Cherepanov went to the bench and, on the way,
collided with one of his teammates. It seemed that there could be nothing
serious about it? After all, players fight each other fiercely near the boards so many times, but... Alexei reached the bench, where the young hockey player's heart stopped.
An ambulance was immediately called to the arena.
And at that time, the local medical services were doing everything possible to get the player's heart beating again. They injected him with adrenaline, performed chest compressions, but nothing helped. The local doctors could do no more...
As reported by "Sport-Express," the heart was started five times,
but the player immediately lost consciousness again. At some point, he came to and began to recognize his teammates, but this was only a brief episode. By that time, his heart had not been beating on its own for 15 minutes. After the ambulance arrived, the player was taken to a local hospital. And before that, there were the grief-stricken eyes of Jaromir Jagr, who kept repeating like a mantra: "Lexa, wake up!"
At the hospital, doctors did everything possible. Contradictory information appeared.
It seemed that Cherepanov had started breathing again, but this did not last long. Alexei fought death to the very end, but... it was not possible to bring Alexei back to life. The 19-year-old player died...
The cause of death will be known soon. But why, according to eyewitnesses, there was no special ambulance with all the necessary equipment at the arena - this is a question for the organizers. If this was really the case, then what is the point of such a league? What is the point of a league that cannot provide everything necessary to save the lives of its players? Why does the NHL do everything possible to ensure the safety of hockey players... Does it take such
a bitter lesson for everything to be done properly in our country?
"Gazeta.Ru" expresses its condolences to the family and friends of Alexei,
and to his teammates. His death is a huge loss for all of Russian hockey. The leaders of the New York Rangers club have expressed their condolences to the Cherepanov family.
