MOSCOW, 12 Aug. The father of the deceased SKA hockey player told Gazeta.Ru that what happened to his son was an accident, and he does not blame anyone. The incident became known on Thursday. The 14-year-old Okkey player of the SKA junior team died after a training session, during which the puck hit him in the chest.
"I don’t see anyone to blame for this, I think it makes no sense to blame someone. It was purely an accident. It was a regular training, they were playing a minority: the five attacked, the four defended. There was a throw, a defender's click from the blue line, as I was told, I was not present, as parents are not allowed to practice. The puck hit the region of the heart, and there was a stop. Then there was resuscitation, but, unfortunately, without success", — said the father.
SKA and the Russian Ice Hockey Federation expressed their condolences.
