The shocking death of promising young New York Rangers prospect Alexei Cherepanov at the end of a Continental Hockey League game Monday in Russia is both a tragic loss for the hockey world and a cautionary tale about the uncertainty of an evolving entity such as the KHL.
Cherepanov, a gifted forward who was playing with Avangard Omsk of the KHL, returned to the bench near the end of a game Monday night and collapsed.
"He passed out on the bench and they couldn't revive him," coach Wayne Fleming told ESPN.com in an interview Monday night.
Cherepanov, 19, the 17th overall pick in the 2007 entry draft, was sitting between former Rangers star Jaromir Jagr and forward Pavel Rosa on the bench during a game against Vityav Chekov on the outskirts of Moscow when he suffered an apparent heart attack.
"He just laid back, passed out and went kind of white," Fleming said.
