I have seen him playing for his country just a few weeks ago during the World Championships in Riga and he was one of the best players of his team.
It’s tragic when young people die …

Kivlenieks’ death has really stunned the ice hockey world and the fans world wide, especially in Latvia and the NHL this week. Even here in Germany it was quite an event in the sports news over the past days.
