"I do not see any culprits in this, to blame someone, I think, doesn't make any sense. This was purely an accident. It was a common practice, they were playing a minority five to attack four to defend. There was a shot, a defenseman's flick from the blue line, as I was told, I was not present, because parents are not allowed to practice. The puck hit the heart area and there was a cardiac arrest. Further there was resuscitation, but, unfortunately, without success."
-Igor Malkov on the death of his teenage son
