New York Rangers prospect Alexei Cherepanov collapsed on the bench during a game Monday night in Russia and died later. He was 19.

"We are extremely saddened by the tragic passing of Alexei," Rangers president and general manager Glen Sather 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."

Cherepanov was the Rangers' first-round pick, 17th overall, in the 2007 draft.

Avangard Omsk head coach Wayne Fleming said Cherepanov collapsed during the third period Monday night. Fleming said he did not see anything on the ice that could have contributed to the collapse and said medical personnel tried to get Cherepanov's heart beating again after it had stopped.

its the new russian hockey league called the continental hockey league (k is the russian spelling and most people use khl so its not confused with chl [canadian hockey league aka canadian jrs])

it replaces the rsl (russian super league). this is the newly formed league in russia that has had a pretty good amount of pub nashville lost one of their better players to the league this summer (radulov). jagr joined the league (actually played on cherepaovs line and he was next to him on the bench when he collapsed).

the khl is the second best hockey league in the world, current players include ray emery, jagr, alexander radulov, nagy, (svitov). their are 24 teams 20 of which were rsl teams. teams are mostly owned by russian oil tycoons.

nik zheredev and nikita both were property of rsl (khl) teams (cska moscow).

Lawmaker: Cherepanov may have died due to negligence

MOSCOW - A Russian lawmaker said Tuesday that rising hockey star Alexei Cherepanov, a first-round draft pick of the New York Rangers, may have died due to negligence on the part of paramedics who responded to an emergency call.
Cherepanov, 19, died Monday during a Continental Hockey League game outside of Moscow.
Russian investigators said Cherepanov suffered from chronic ischemia, a medical condition in which not enough blood gets to the heart or other organs. Cherepanov's agent Jay Grossman told AM640 radio in Toronto on Tuesday that he was not aware of any pre-existing condition.
Pavel Krasheninnikov, who sits on the Russian Hockey Federation's supervisory council and is a member of the State Duma, said there was no ambulance on duty at the arena where Cherepanov's Russian team, Avangard Omsk, was playing.
He asserted that emergency workers took too long to respond and didn't have a defibrillator, a machine used to shock the heart. It was unclear how much time it took paramedics to respond
