Thumbs down Russian forward Dmitri Uchaykin dies after headshot in Kazakhstan hockey league.

I logged onto the hockey blogs earlier, just wanted to take a casual glance at the headlines. Nothing casual about that headline. 33 years old, pregnant wife and daughter left behind.

I can't comment on this because there's no video available (not that I would watch it anyway), and I obviously know nothing about Kazakhstan hockey. But I feel that this should at least be acknowledged. We've talked so much in recent years about head trauma in sports. I think some of you here on CP have predicted that this would happen eventually. Well, it's happened. Just awful.
