    Former NHLers on the team roster include Pavol Demitra and Ruslan Salei and the coach in Canadian Brad McCrimmon. But it was not known whether they were on board the plane.

    Mr. McCrimmon, 52, is a native of Saskatchewan. He played defence for six NHL teams — Boston, Philadelphia, Calgary, Detroit, Hartford and Phoenix from 1979-80 to 1996-97.

    I played hockey at lunch today shortly after posting this. Only a few of us heard about it by then and were talking about the names we recognized in the dressing room. When McCrimmon's name was mentioned one of the guys said: "What fuck was he doing there?" I said he was the coach...... then I remembered they were ex-teammates. Put a real damper on the skate.
