More bad news has come out of the hockey world as it's been reported that 27-year-old Russian defenseman Yegor Sorokin has sadly passed away unexpectedly.

Yegor Sorokin, a 27-year-old ex-Russian defenseman, has tragically died; this is a sad moment for the hockey world which is now in mourning. He still had a lot of years in front of him, and this has sent many into shock. It's just one of those things that really shows just how fragile life is at times and how it sometimes can take individuals much too early.

Sorokin had played five years of hockey in Russia's MHL with clubs such as Yekaterinburg Auto Jr, Nizhnekamsk Reaktor, Volzhsk, and Ufa Tolpar. The 6-foot defender had 55 points in 205 games, including two straight 20-assist seasons. In the VHL, he played 91 games for such clubs as Volzhsk Ariada-Akpars, Perm Molot-Prikamye, Uchaly Gornyak, and Samara CSK VVS. He did a great job on the ice and was considered both dedicated and skillful.

However, the memory of Sorokin transcends the game itself. His passing serves as a sad yet sure reminder that, in the big picture, there is more to life than the pursuit of a career or dream. As a hockey player, his feats on the ice will be remembered, but those who knew him well would remember him for who he was, a gentle, determined, and passionate guy about life.

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to all those who have been touched by the death of Sorokin. Thoughts go out to his family, friends, teammates, coaches, and fans at this incredibly difficult time. The memory of Yegor will continue to live, not just in the minds of hockey enthusiasts but in the hearts of every person he has ever touched.

It's losses like these, especially young ones like Yegor Sorokin, that affect people all over. These terrible things seem to happen a lot, it would seem. No family should have to go through such pain, no friend, and no community member either. That is just a brutal fact of life, one that does not get any easier. All one can do is remember and pray that someday such losses will become fewer and farther between.
