As you probably know, yesterday, a young player playing in the OHL for the London Knights unfortunately lost his life. His name was Abakar Kazbekov and he was only 18 years old. His team announced via an official statement that one of their players has unfortunately passed away. A sudden and tragic death that did not offer at that time any explanation on the causes of it. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/LondonKnights/status/1604162409144492032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1604162409144492032%7Ctwgr%5E001fec103d80bf22469a5ef95f414a7ea354c811%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.habsetlnh.com%2FLa-veritable-raison-du-deces-subit-du-jeune-Abakar-Kazbekov-serait-possiblement-connue-et-cest-infiniment-triste-188847'> </a></blockquote></div> The circumstances of this tragedy have not been revealed publicly, but RDS journalist Stéphane Leroux published this: <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/StephRDSJunior/status/1604198686375960578?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1604198686375960578%7Ctwgr%5E001fec103d80bf22469a5ef95f414a7ea354c811%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.habsetlnh.com%2FLa-veritable-raison-du-deces-subit-du-jeune-Abakar-Kazbekov-serait-possiblement-connue-et-cest-infiniment-triste-188847'> </a></blockquote></div> This tragedy is of infinite sadness and we offer our deepest condolences to his family, friends, teammates and all those who are affected by Abakar's death.
