Right in the course of the meeting, 16-year-old defender of the blue-and-white Valentin Rodionov fainted on the bench and was urgently hospitalized at the Morozov City Clinical Hospital during the Moscow Open Championship among hockey players born in 2005 between CSKA and Dynamo
On Tuesday, the club spoke in more detail about the condition of the athlete.
It is reported that at the moment the young man is in a drug-induced coma, and the best doctors of the capital are engaged in his health.
Also in "Dynamo" they stressed that they are giving Rodionov "full support".
“Please note that no fundraising is under way.
The club fully assumes all financial expenses for drug provision.
The management, players and coaching staff wish the hockey player a speedy recovery, ”the official website of the blue and white states.
Valentin received a dangerous injury on Sunday.
His team had a principled meeting with CSKA and eventually won an important victory with a score of 6: 4.
The defender himself even scored a goal at the beginning of the second period, which allowed Dynamo to break away.
And soon Rodionov managed to get injured, without even engaging in single combats with rivals.
According to media reports, he lost his balance and hit his head hard on the side.
As reported on the official website of the capital club, after that the athlete returned to the bench, where he lost consciousness.
He received emergency medical assistance right on the spot.
“Valentin Rodionov was hospitalized at the Morozov City Clinical Hospital.
The defender received the necessary assistance and performed an operation.
At the moment, the patient is in a satisfactory condition, "- quotes the words of the press attaché of MHC" Dynamo "Alexei Azarnyh" R-Sport ".
Later, the details of the surgical intervention became known.
To reduce the pressure on the young man's brain due to the accumulated fluid, the doctors performed decompression craniotomy, according to Channel Five.
Later, the Telegram channel Mutko Against, referring to the words of doctors, noted that the hockey player, although he received a severe head injury, is currently "in a stable condition", and the operation itself "was successful."
At the same time, the police officers allegedly began to check what had happened.
They promised to carry out an internal check in the Moscow Hockey Federation, under the auspices of which the match took place.
“All expenses were covered by the club, we are in touch with them.
The necessary help is being provided to Valentin.
If necessary, FHM is ready to provide all kinds of support to the family of Valentin Rodionov.
We wish him a speedy recovery.
And all the rest - players and coaches - should be as attentive as possible to their well-being, ”the federation told Match TV.
As for the injured hockey player himself, he took part in only four matches of the Open Championship of the capital this season, having thrown one puck in them and given the same number of assists.
Previously, the defender played for the Resurrection Chemist, but Dynamo attracted the attention of his reliable game, where he moved to in 2018.
Reaching a new level, the athlete continued to progress, as evidenced by his debut in the Youth Hockey League.
In the current JHL draw, the 16-year-old defender took part in ten meetings and even gave a goal pass to his partner in the confrontation with the Red Army.
Rodionov was also in demand in the Russian U17 junior national team, where he regularly received calls in 2021.
In mid-November, in its composition, he played in the President's Sports Club Cup.
The domestic team won three confident victories over their peers from Belarus, Kazakhstan, as well as the MTZ Junior League team.
Valentin scored in all matches and even scored a point for an assist.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time this year when a young hockey player faces serious health problems.
So, in early November, at the age of 22, Andrey Boltov, a pupil of Metallurg Magnitogorsk, died.
The athlete received a severe spinal injury and was literally bedridden.
Family and friends announced a fundraiser, and the attacker's condition seemed to improve, but he was unable to cope with the consequences of the injury.
“Our heart is broken.
We are deeply saddened to inform you that Andrei Boltov passed away literally a few hours ago ... We express our condolences to all relatives, friends and those who knew Andrei.
We are grateful to everyone who supported him and did not stand aside.
May the earth rest in peace to you, Andrey.
We grieve, ”reads a post on the Instagram page of the Lipetsk MHC, whose colors Boltov also defended.
And in March, there was no other MHL defender Timur Fayzutdinov, who also played for Dynamo, only from St. Petersburg.
The cause of the death of the young athlete at the age of 19 was an accidental hit of the puck in the head during the league playoff meeting with Lokomotiv in Yaroslavl.
Doctors fought for the life of the young man for several days, but they could not save him.
