Athletistic/Hockey. At Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, an image of Rodion Amirov, the club’s Russian striker Salavat Yulaev, who died of cancer, was displayed. This photo was posted by the hockey player’s agent Dan Milstein on his social media.

Scotiabank Arena is the home stadium of the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL). In 2020, the Maple Leaves selected Amirov with the 15th pick in the draft.

Recall that in February 2022, it became known that a brain tumor had been discovered in a young hockey player. As a result, he underwent long treatment and hasn’t appeared in matches since January 2022. In May 2023, Amirov extended his contract with Salavat. During his career, Amirov played 79 games in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) and the Gagarin Cup, scoring 18 (10+8) points with an overall utility score of “-6”.
