    A chartered jet carrying Russia's major league ice hockey team Lokomotiv has crashed on take-off near the central city of Yaroslavl, with 43 deaths.

    Imagine if this had happened to an American sports team :(

    Sucks cause most of those players were young, some as young as 18

    Really sad, one of our players from the German national team joined Lokomotiv this summer and died. Tragic times for the families and kids. :(

    I heard if that happens in the NBA there is a draft where teams are only allowed to protect 4 players (or maybe it was 6, it was either 4 or 6). Had to be fake. It was on Rome. Way back in the day.

    It hasn't been a good few weeks for hockey players.

    I follow a few producers/DJ's, and their descriptions of Russian planes in transit to Russian gigs sounds terrifying.

    Sad to read that.

    imagine what it must feel like for that one survivor, losing his comrades in such a horrific tragedy.
