ShakyWalton Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Unreal and senseless.....who is Janne Virtanen...any relation to Jake? According to multiple reports the attack occurred after the players, most of which are older than the victim, learned that the young man had been promoted to the team's top line over those older players. Given that these players are not adults, we expect that the details of this story will remain relatively unclear for some time. Janne Virtanen @Amateur_hockey Tragic news of a 14yr-old Russian Jr player being killed after a brawl with teammates in changing room. Follow Janne Virtanen @Amateur_hockey Apparently brawl was due to 14yr-old being promoted to 1st line over older players. 2:07 PM - 13 Feb 2017 1 1 Retweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkpoet Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 There's no mention of this anywhere. The paper that allegedly was "the source" has nothing posted on it's page related to this today, so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say "fake news"http://www.mk.ru/news/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On both accounts I really don't think Russians have a corner on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelicHearts Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 As someone who reads Russian news, I can say that there have been several occasions where they have posted things that aren't true (I don't read things on that specific site, but it has happened on other sites). One time there was an article about the Queen dying in her sleep, but it was actually just a hoax. My mom believed it when she first read it and I had to explain to her that the articles on Russian sites aren't always the real deal. It's embarrassing, but I guess that's how it is. Not sure about this one, though. Haven't seen anything regarding this, so it may be a hoax. It's very sad when there are hoaxes about someone's death. I hope it's not true.

Yeah, but there are always hoaxes about celebrity deaths. This is a much different situation. However, I do hope that it is fake for obvious reasons.
