A sudden and tragic death, as Abakar Kazbekov, an 18 year old Russian player, is no more. He was a former first overall pick in the OHL, who was in uniform Friday night imagine... We are at a loss for words.
A news that really shook the hockey planet, and in the last few hours, Montreal Canadiens prospect Logan Mailloux reacted and paid a beautiful tribute to young Abakar Kazbekov.
A meaningful tribute to his young teammate through a story Instagram:
It reads "Fly high, Abby," with the Knights' home ice as the backdrop. It's a nice touch.
Our deepest thoughts are with Kazbekov's loved ones. There are no words to describe how sad this is.
