time to get out dani training will start soon when in forty minutes ok the can down. the road it's difficult to serve in the cargo. especially when they're only starting today when they're just little kids there makes it too heavy for them they have to change a lot and parents have to forget about anything else or a sense about what about the other children is they depend entirely on their training championship just saying you bring your work thanks around here welcome. the parents of the successful hockey players have already gone a long way at 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. the broadness gave back. under put them on it training but nikolai kicked him out during training he was sitting and looking at this and when i went into his room i saw him sleeping next to escape can you imagine that. 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 they're 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 hockey 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 is 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 at the foci 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 jaroslav. and after may and 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 return 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 tell you he and conservative a step took. his bath was not easy but said in his age group you always won the title of the best player in the tournament and sometimes in player of the year. he did actually scores first and so 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 will.

run to the scene as 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 sports of yoga sutherland ice hockey yvonne 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 where 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 into a notion the airport in the region deficient explanation was pilot error. gainey punin was among the first to arrive at the crash scene he was

a close friend of event to get 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. the plane taking off from airport began to roll comedia lay after takeoff and flew in this direction before crashing by the river by. the second most severe blow curd here and led to an explosion. why can some one of the airplanes fuel tanks were full of god. i think that's when most people were killed last year four hundred. thirty seven passengers and eight crewmembers on board only teammate alexandra galimore and

flight engineer alexandra c. itself was still alive after the awful crash but barely the world prayed for a miracle. my husband took him by the hand and said son well this is 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 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 is not. long ago it simply teaches you to carry on living with these dogs that we will never forget this

sorrow will always be with us as always my baby is what motivates me to keep going and. 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. and what 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 my telly or that she can wave her hand to him and it doesn't mean a thing we once bought floating lanterns curried big lanterns 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 if they still exist and the simply not with us anymore. must continue living somehow. but how they want to katrinka has 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. but 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. and.

pictures are all that we have now. here. the plane crash that killed the city's in tile hockey team has changed to life it got us level forever. locomotive jaroslava was our star team it was the strength of our city they promoted. and to 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 l.s.a. 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. oh well when i heard the tragic news oh well now. it is also. the people's grief is expressed through hundreds of songs poems and street art to remember given to fans drew 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 and permitted until twenty five years after a person's death. on which no one did this is the pose that he usually made after he scored a goal the first time raising he always raised to stick to show off after getting the puck and it was it is just your victory it's gabble way. would be soon which brightened if you move the sun from fans to impressions.

his friends start on t.v. dot com. in spite of the tragic plane crash none of the young players and joe slovo gave up on the sport on the contrary this is. i used to live because of schools in world more boys than usual everyone dreams of joining locomotive but few succeed even those who fail never regret the opportunity to have tried. them all 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 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. 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 what. 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 sergey and event 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. the facility has three buildings a skating rink a sports hall and a public one. 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 was filmed one player at the time and meals a member of the new squad cheers the deceased alexandra gullible sunny. lloyd the day it was very hard and i came here there were several in the team no no 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 with 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 has forgotten about the tragedy and they never will but even more so in 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 of food afterwards and 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. steadicam on the team that has passed away will always stay in because they used to be among the new guys who will come to save the team 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 my. book reading your book or your it is going to be very difficult to the other generation that saw that team i'm glove that team to get used to the new one which as you know us 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. with a helmet pants gloves and skates aspiring young hockey players have to carry around ten kilograms in total. kid to hockey teaches in durance strengths 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.

relatives of the deceased players never missed a single game before the disaster but now they turn off their televisions when a hockey match comes on. to chill i remember how one saw a game on t.v. with a look i'm a teacher. i think. i started looking for a leg zen during panic. but when it dawned on me that it was a different team already a city about the book. i'm not going to watch any of. i simply cannot imagine the club without oleksandr. before her child was born marino always played a part you know ice hockey matches she dozed in the team's cheerleading group that would be i'm dancing for a volleyball team now. and it wasn't xander who encouraged me to start a team of my own susman of the moment but this is just the way i still do it it's

one of those and some people look down on me for that but this is sort of really cool doubles. at least i can somehow get my mind off or it's happened again. yeah in this piece i painted black players symbolizing the members of the old team and the great players of those replacing by play yes it will take time of course that these new guys will becomes i hope your love and pride of all city will. be.

the key about one of the best known groups in the us love it has run hustling for its next performance they became stuff thanks to look about chief of the singing humorous rhyming soames dedicated to the team since then they've always attended the matches. something. else was let go by. is so happens that the songs were meant to be just a joke but then the loyal fans took it on and it became the hockey club's trademark and practically their anthem they were followed by dozens of tunes devoted to look i'm a thief now however not one of them has been as catchy as those songs. but that's . a little i don't. know. that have the air of 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. the fall 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 get off. the top.

thirty five. times i am on this story goes without saying that i will always have the team that died in my heart. that. 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 slogan still stands true elohim forever.
