American teenager mourns victim "Locomotives»

It is difficult to imagine how an ordinary American teenager from the city, which hosts one of the most renowned clubs in the National Hockey League, "Boston Bruins" can support the team from distant Russia. Several years ago, Nick, being a big fan of hockey, I decided to choose a club in the KHL, for which he will get sick. While his favorite player was the Russian goaltender Semen Varlamov, who was then moved from the "railroad" club "Washington Capitals».
- It was great to see how Varlamov turned from a strong player in the NHL. Since then, I began to root for "Loco" - says the teenager.
The day when crashed near Yaroslavl Yak-42 hockey team aboard, Nick remembers very well. September 7, 2011 was his first day in high school.
- I learned about it when my mother picks me up after school. Usually, I'll go home from school, but then in our house was renovated and we lived with my grandmother. Mom told me that she had heard on the radio, as a Russian ice hockey team killed in a plane crash. More than she knew nothing. I immediately thought: "In the CHL teams over 20, can not be that it was them (" Lokomotiv "-" RP ")." But when I learned the details of the plane crash and survived only one Alexander Galimov (a few days later he died from his injuries - "RP"), my heart almost stopped - says Nick.
A teenager in the photos on the Internet has seen the memorial "Hockey Brotherhood", which is scheduled to open near the "Arena 2000" September 7. According to him, this magnificent building.
Like all the fans of "Locomotive", Nick Cates is preparing for the start of the new season. Because of the time difference, he has to watch matches on the Internet during the lunch break at school.
The teenager from Boston wants to visit Yaroslavl to attend a home game "Locomotive". But 16 years is difficult to do it yourself.
- And yet, one day, when I'm older, I earn money for the trip and come to Russia! - Said Nick.
