Cherepanov dies during KHL game.

MOSCOW -- Alexei Cherepanov, a former first-round draft pick of the NHL's New York Rangers, died Monday during a game in Russia. He was 19.

The six-foot-one, 187-pound Cherepanov reportedly collapsed on the bench of his Avangard Omsk team in the third period of a Continental Hockey League game and died a short time later.

Cherepanov had seven goals and five assists in 14 KHL games this season.

He helped lead Russia to a bronze medal at last year's world junior hockey championship.

"We are extremely saddened by the tragic passing of Alexei," Glen Sather, the Rangers president and general manager, said in a statement. "On behalf of the New York Rangers organization, I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to his family.

"Alexei was an intelligent, energetic young man, with tremendous talent and an extremely bright future."

As for this incident rumor has it that Cherepanov and Jagr collided and Cherepanov went down.

any speculation on why someone his age would just die like that? I mean only 19! Seems so wrong.

I got choked up seeing Tom Renney fight back the tears during the pregame memorial for Cherepanov.

it can happen if the person has a weak heart, or if he was on certain drugs. soemthing like 20 dutch cyclists collasped and dies in the 90s, presumably from EPo and the like.

I don't know think he was doping. They were talking about Jagr and him and everyone was saying that he's a hard worker and works out hard. Jagr took this kid under his wing - Imagine how he feels.
