A 19-year-old Russian hockey player has died after being hit in the head by the puck during a game, his club and the league said on Tuesday. Defenseman Timur Faizutdinov was playing for Dynamo St Petersburg’s junior team in a playoff game against Loko Yaroslavl on Friday when he was struck by a puck hit from the neutral zone. Faizutdinov collapsed and was treated on the ice by the team doctor and paramedics before being taken to a hospital in the city of Yaroslavl, 160 miles northeast of Moscow. The Junior Hockey League said Faizutdinov died on Tuesday after “doctors fought for Timur’s life over the course of three days.” Dynamo said upcoming games in competitions, including the Kontinental Hockey League, will begin with a minute’s silence for Faizutdinov.
