ZILINA, Slovakia (CP) - Slovak hockey player Stefan Blaho, a fourth-round pick of the New York Islanders, has died in a car accident. He was 21.


The International Ice Hockey Federation said the crash happened just after midnight Tuesday near the Slovak town of Krasnany. That evening Blaho had scored a goal for Slovak champion MsHK Zilina, the team he was about to sign for, in an exhibition game against Banska Bystrica.


Blaho spent the three last seasons in the Ontario Hockey League with Sudbury and Sarnia.


The forward, taken in the 2003 NHL entry draft, represented Slovakia in the 2003 IIHF world under-18 championship and the 2004 IIHF world under-20 championship.


Marcel Hanzal, a 32-year-old who last played for Dukla Trencin of the Slovak league, survived the crash.

Very sad.


I find it amazing this guy was drafted, looking at his Major Junior stats - highest goal total - 8, most points in a season - 22; and he's a forward, not a defenseman.

That's me, a cold-hearted bastard!


Actually, didn't I say "Very sad" right from the start?
