A scary scene occurred during a summer training session for a young goaltender.

Savva Skotnikov, goalkeeper of the Kazan «Ak Bars» children's and youth sports school, passed out during a training session at a special training camp and was hospitalized, where he was diagnosed with a ruptured aneurysm after testing. The 16 year old underwent successful surgery after rupture of a congenital cerebral aneurysm.

Savva is the younger brother of CSKA goalkeeper Vsevolod Skotnikov, who won the Gagarin Cup last season.
