An incredibly scary scene took place in Russia recently, as a 16-year-old goaltender collapsed on the ice at a team practice. The young man is now okay, but the incident was terrifying for many.

Skotnikov Collapses On Ice

During a summer training session with the Kazan Ak Bars children's and youth sports school, 16-year-old Savva Skotnikov, a goaltender, collapsed on the ice. After being rushed to a hospital, Skotnikov was diagnosed with a ruptured aneurysm. The 16-year-old underwent successful surgery following the rupture of a congenital cerebral aneurysm and appears to be recovering nicely.

Savva comes from a hockey family, and his older brother won the Gagarin Cup last year as a goalie for CSKA.
