I tracked down this news from various sources, and it’s sad news: HC Sibir Novosibirsk reports that Vladimir Tarasenko’s father, Andrei, passed away suddenly at age 56. He was a developmental coach for HC Sibir, and he played for the team in the 2000’s. His #10 was retired by the team.
Hockey News Hub on Twitter, who follows the KHL, first reported the news.
HC Sibir has confirmed this.
