This birthday could have been different, if on this day, he was still among us. It has been one half year since Alexander Petrenko has left us... but we will always remember him.

Of course, to this very day, it is still impossible to think Petrenko no appears on our court, and his absence in the arena lends an even stranger sensation, for his image so ever present on the murals, and his shirt under the scoreboard. Nontheless, it would surely be harder to bear had Petrenko not left behind a small part of his spirit. We will never forget the fortitude he left behind -and that was his trademark — on his beloved club. in our hearts Sasha remains forever present

Happy birthday, captain!
