strengthening. the global financial recovery. as. the biggest threat to global security.

now it was. not just the world but also the whole of russia forty four lives were lost when the plane carrying the. team went down a year ago special look back at those events. preparing to celebrate the start of the new season for the. team. was expected to emerge victorious. but the fans' excitement was suddenly overrun by a riff event. c.

ward yeah but i wouldn't say that tonight's is the memorial service commemorate seeing the chief team killed in a plane crash and look at us to. be good to keep the players from deny men scope of hissing the puck into their own goal symbolically giving the victory at seafield a sloven. the. three. time to get out dani training will start soon when in forty minutes ok

the can't. get to prove it's difficult to serve in the cargo and especially when they're only starting to end and when they're just little kids there makes it to have the food that they have to change a lot and parents have to forget about anything else pressing about what about the other children is they depend entirely on their training championship just saying you bring your work thanks while you're welcome. the parents of the successful hockey players have already gone a long way in raising their sons to become real champions they've shouldered years of hard work to win hearts the lives of their children. alexander's coach. went to canada and we ordered.

a broad gate back. under put them on it training but nikolai kicked him out during training he was sitting and looking at escape and when i went into his room i saw him sleeping next to escape can you imagine that. right. at the age of just ten alexander wrote an essay his mother has kept it all these years. parky is a game for real men they write these say the cowards don't play hockey when i grow up i want to become an n.h.l. hockey player but most importantly doing sports is healthy. every other boy and generous level dreams of becoming a professional hockey player classes have been held here for more than twenty years . if your child does a little bit more every day than his peers during training then he's more likely to be successful of course you should also have talent basically brains are more

important in ice hockey than brute force if a child has a fine head he's sure to play well. in a way looking mighty folky club was the foundation of the city of yugoslavia itself the team boasted the best hockey players from the world the bellows latvia the czech republic slovakia sweden the united states and canada people love to look emotive jaroslava not just because it was one of the most renowned teams in the country all but it won the russian c. colleagues three times but for the fact that it was also a very friendly and well balanced team it's called players were always from jaroslava. and that remained unchanged.

alexander of us enough had played ice hockey since he was eight in the summer of two thousand and eleven he returned from the n.h.l. the twenty three year old was going to play with a look at monte for a year and then returned to america in two thousand and eleven he was going to get married just like a few of his friends from the club like andre kill him consolidate a stop took. his path was not easy but said thing is age group you always won the title of the best player in the tournament and sometimes in player of the year. he does actually scores first and only gold and the n.h.l. gives this to every player but their first go was in the world would be a rule and he did it until.

the run took a chunk of the scene is just an ordinary city kid he played ice hockey and went to school but it was quite some time before people began to notice his talent he was the first on a master's sports of jaroslav an ice hockey van was both the face and the heart of the team as well as a symbol for the city. where you hear from many parents that their children say that they want to be like your van when it is very good that he lives on as a role model for young boys should reward. alexander ghali what one does on the ice often saving his team from defeat in the last moment. he also played at the heart of the russian men's national ice hockey team alexander was an only son a loving husband and a father. i never thought that people in the city loved our son so much but he was

just an ordinary guy i mean either he was too young or small there was always something like that. at two minutes past four in the afternoon of september the seventh two thousand and eleven the ice hockey world was shaken by terrible news look i'm a thief was travelling to minsk in belarus for the first game of the two thousand and eleven to two thousand and twelve season when their plane crashed built an ocean airport in the region deficient explanation was pilot error. here gagne punin was among the first to arrive at the crash scene he was a close friend of event to the team's captain. there are still a few places here where the earth is still scorched and the smell of kerosene hangs

in the air. that it. was up to here. the plane taking off from the airport began to roll comedia lay after takeoff and flew in this direction before crashing by the river by the second most severe blow current here and led to an explosion. what you some of the airplanes fuel tanks were full of gossip. i think that's when most people were killed last year four hundred. thirty seven passengers and eight crew members on board only teammate alexandra de lima off and flight engineer alexandra c. itself was still alive after the awful crash but barely the world prayed for a miracle. close my husband took him by the hand and said son loves why

you have to live and in reply i he just moved his finger. but no one can survive with ninety percent burns to their body five days later alexandra de lima died when he played hockey he was always the last to leave the ice age he recently told the truth yet i'm still waiting for him i can't believe what happened. i still can't help imagining that he'll come home into the room in any moment and say mom let's have lunch it's very hard. to go it has to be him everybody says the time he was all ones but it does not. want to go it simply teaches you to carry on living with these dogs that we will never forget this sorrow will always be with us because my baby is what motivates me to keep going i think. she proudly tells everyone that she is christina go lima

but whenever people ask her where she is she always makes a point of mentioning her surname. when i can't think of anything else than telling her that her father now lives in heaven and that he's watching us on the michael bay tell her that she can wave her hand to him and that as an innocent we once bought floating lanterns curried pickle and turns and sent him a message to heaven and she believes in it and i get it. all the homes of those who lost their sons brothers and husbands are very similar numbered shirts trophies and medals adorn the walls one thing they all share is the last picture of the whole team taken at a training camp in switzerland. for us they still

exist and the simply not with us anymore. must continue living somehow. but how it went to saved dozens of lives over the years just hours before the crash he anonymously transferred almost seventeen thousand dollars to pay for a young girl's cancer operation. he was very sympathetic to others. he put human life above money to give away ten million rubles to children he did not even know despite the fact he had a family of his own there are people who hoard their money but not him he was a very generous and open person money and fame did not spoil him at all. pictures that we have now. here.

the plane crash that killed the city's in tyler hockey team has changed life it got a slothful forever. locomotive jaroslava was our star team it was the strength of our city they promoted on. the come on the block this team was of course the love of our city says will move on and on of the team and. never come out of our team was the hope of jaroslav when you look at what it will take a long time for the new guys to heal the wound in the fans' hearts. when

he was just four years old under a alexei of had to choose between football and hockey a five minute encounter with his idol is on to left such an impression on him that he instantly opted for hockey oh yeah. yeah i had just come home from training at the gym. well when i heard the tragic news oh well now. it is not good. for. the people's grief is expressed through hundreds of songs poems and street art to remember given to fans through his picture on the walls of the house where he lived the commemorative pluck has also been put up to honor his memory at first they feared it wouldn't be allowed as according to law such memorials permitted until twenty five years after

a person's death. on which no doubt this is the pose that he usually made after he scored a goal for some reason he always raised a stink to show off after getting the puck and it was is just your victory it's cable way that.

in spite of the tragic plane crash none of the young players and joe slovo gave up on the sport on the contrary the city used to live because of schools in world mole boys the usual everyone dreams of joining locomotive but few succeed. even those who fail never regret the opportunity to have tried. i would also like him to be like iran. even had a difficult life he didn't make it into the team of masters all at once and he was made to go from jaroslav all to another school but he always worked hard and proved it with the way he played that he deserved to be a number one team player even though finally they noticed him and invited him to a locomotive jaroslav will of course i hope andre reaches his level and sixty it's

just like a rounded up model for. not everyone has what it takes to make it through looking motifs demanding hockey school trainers and always quick to recognize a future star either so the ticket drinkers are planning their own ice hockey academy. in spring last year we were sitting with sergei and a van thinking about opening up school that your goal was to get the boys off the streets and involve them in sports but. we wanted to stop them wasting their lives drinking and smoking. good expose the facility has three buildings a skating rink a sports hall the kind of public one you want to go see it will have locker rooms a hotel and probably

a gym but. the location for the project has already been selected there's even a waiting list of students hoping to be taken on by the new school but funds for the facilities construction a limited a new charity account has been opened for people who want to make a donation. immediately after the tragedy top ice hockey clubs offered look at maty for the condolences the everest level to chose to miss the whole of that he is season they played in the in the russian major league and it was forms one player at the time emil member of the new school of chin is the deceased alexandra gullable so. the wood the day it was very hard and i came here there were several in the team no jokes no laughter

no smiles because it was difficult. it was the team's head coach he was the first american in n.h.l. history to have school says he goals in one season. it hit everybody is hard i think is that here because everybody knew somebody on the plane or they knew somebody through another person so there was an awful lot of connection to that team we had joseph was a check was a part of our organization and caroline of the year we won a stanley cup brad mccrimmon i knew very very well documented so small and when something like that happens you know it doesn't go unnoticed by anybody. you go yuck up when the best defender in the national youth ice hockey team in the two thousand and ten playoffs was among the first to join the new look i'm

a thief team. a lot of the city was depressed so but little by little it came to terms with what happened. of course no one asked for my by the tragedy and they never will but even more so when the home city where we are very lucky to have been chosen to restore the team. of the sixteen years with the n.h.l. world renowned hockey player viktor kozlov wanted to finish his career in russia he already had a claim to fame for scoring six goals in just twenty four hours the food afterwards for all the guys are in very good physical shape and they are training hard i must say that all the guys are very fast capable technically skilled undetermined to win . every day the scene of the tragedy sees more people arrive relatives friends and fans they make sure that there are always

flowers at the monument inscribed with the team members' names but also keep the area clean. the old team that has passed away will always stay in. because they used to be among the new guys who will come to save the city to save the city and they will come from other cities and help us i hope one day they'll become as dear to us as the old team of. booker t. you could or you know it is going to be very difficult to be of the generation that saw that team and love that team to get used to the new one which as you know it's me and i think that the new generation of fans is going to be here in some five years from now when the team develop their own style their own charisma and appeal so that bush will move it.

but. with a helmet pads gloves and skates aspiring young hockey players have to carry around ten kilograms in total. kid to hockey teaches in durance strength and commitment to just go so i want to grow up to be a real man. under his parents always try to drive him to and from training sessions each time they watch his progress on the screens in the lobby or with. relatives of the deceased players never missed a single game before the disaster but now they turn off the televisions when a hockey match comes on. for me up until i remember how one saw game on t.v. with a look i'm a teacher. i think. i started looking for

legs enduring panic. when it dawned on me that it was a different team already a city about the book. i am not going to watch any of. i simply cannot imagine the club without oleksandr. before her child was born merino always played a part in ice hockey matches she dozed in the team's cheerleading group that would be i'm dancing for a volleyball team now. and i was ill xander who encouraged me to start a team of my own susman up the moment a disaster but i still do it because of them some people look down on me for that but this is sort of really cool doubles. at least they can somehow get my mind off what's happening again.

yeah in this piece i painted black players symbolizing the members of the old team and the great players are those replacing by play yes it will take time of course but these new guys will becomes the hope you love and pride of all city which will . keep out one of the best known groups in the us level has run hustling for its next performance they became stuff thanks to look at my chief of the singing humorous rhyming soames dedicated to the team since then they've always attended the matches

that you haven't seen us do something foolish you need to do for the last leg of life. is so happens that the songs were meant to be just a joke at the down the loyal fans took it on and it became a hockey club's trademark and practically their anthem they were followed by dozens of tunes devoted to look i'm a thief however not one of them has been as catchy as those songs. in that. book. was. it wasn't. that happy era between nine hundred ninety seven and two thousand and eleven is over and there will never be another team like the one we had before it's going to be a different squad if they invite us to sing songs for the new guys we will be happy to do so to support them we will sing all the songs including the funny ones.

before the first warm up match between like a motif and sasco must go it's traditional for fans to stock up on team scarves and burners but this year before the start of the season only shirts with the names of deceased players are available supporters won't be able to buy items bearing the names of the new team players until after its official line up is finally announced . that it was there. was. such a thought was. the time. various. primarily i am on this known it goes without saying that i will always have the team that died in my heart right. now to that.

goal we must learn to live with this sense of loss we must remember them but carry on without them this is not the end of the world it's the end of one story which was cut short but now we have a chance to start over. a new team has returned to the cage shelf and i hope that we will become champions a gal ashcraft i. the next generation of hockey players has a great example to follow and andre just like every other young boy in jaroslava faces the portraits of his heroes every time he comes to training in spite of the terrible disaster look at motifs club slow going to still stands true elohim

forever.
