Crazy stuff. The kid was a top prospect and I remember watching him in the World Jr tournament a few years back.

Was reading somewhere that it happened when he collided with a teammate as they were changing lines. Don't know if that is true or not, but a sad story indeed.

(The team is the one Jagr plays on).

Word is that it was Jagr and Jagr completely freaked out. Not that I blame him.

Unbelievable. 19 is so young, and the kid was a blue chip prospect with the world in front of him. I remember being pissed when the Oilers skipped him in the draft and took Alex Plante, a big slow defenceman who will never pan out instead of Cherry, who was listed as the most skilled (but one of the rawest prospects) in that years draft. Terrible.

Just saw this on the NHL Network ticker within the past hour. Always sad when someone dies that young, no matter what walk of life...

Damn. That is horrible.

This part was interesting in the TSN report.

Quote:


	Sources in Russia tell TSN that the ambulance that is normally at all games had already departed and had to be called back. It is not clear exactly how long it took for Cherepanov to be transported from the rink to the hospital but one source in the arena told TSN it was, "probably 15 or 20 minutes." There are also questions as to whether defibrillators at the arena were in good working order, though no further details are available.

Died on the bench of a heart attack... the coach said he didn't see anything on the ice that would make him think it was a hit... I'm assuming the guy had a previously undiscovered heart condition? RIP either way. Way too young.
