In a tragic incident, 17-year-old Venedikt Osipov, a forward for HC EkoNiva-Bobrov, has passed away during a regular training session due to a heart malfunction.

The sad event took place in the National Youth Hockey League (NMHL), where Osipov collapsed after taking a shot at the goal during practice. Despite immediate medical attention and the arrival of an ambulance within 4 minutes, efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.
