On Tuesday, another unimaginable tragedy shocked the hockey world.
A plane carrying almost the entire Lokomotiv Yaroslavl hockey club crashed after takeoff, killing nearly everyone on board. It was a devastating and horrific accident, taking from us dozens of talented, vibrant souls looking only to start another hockey season, playing the sport they loved.
Stanley Cup champions... Former NHL superstars... Young, budding talent... Coaches and managers... Fathers... Sons... Flight crew and support staff... Russians, Czechs, Slovaks, Canadians... all lost forever.
It is the latest in a seemingly continuous string of catastrophes to hit the hockey fraternity in this, the Summer of Sadness.

Andrew Alberts has a lot of improvement ahead of him if he expects to play full time with the Canucks.

Nicklas Jensen was Rookie of the Year in Denmark in 2009-10, then led all Oshawa Generals rookies in
all categories when he moved to the OHL last year. He's impressed more than a few people.

Nicklas Jensen was born in Denmark, raised in Denmark, began played hockey in Denmark, and even played for the Danish national U18 and U20 teams.
But Nicklas Jensen is far more Canadian than you would think.
