He was a member of several Swedish national teams, including the 2006 Olympic championship team.

Personal[link]

Liv was born in Gdynia, Poland, as Patryk Śliz, given to an orphanage in Gdańsk and adopted by a Swedish family around the age of two. He kept his original first name as a second first name.^[1][2]

Playing career[link]

Liv was the starting goaltender for HC Sibir and was often chosen for the Swedish national team. On 22 December 2005, he was named as third goaltender to Team Sweden for the 2006 Winter Olympics.^[3] He wore the goaltender's glove on his left hand. He was agile, quick in moving from side to side and skilled with close-range shots,^[4] and his unorthodox style reminded some of Dominik Hašek.^[5]

Liv played his first Elitserien game in Sweden on 18 January 2000 in Jönköping for HV71 against Luleå HF. His first national appearance was in a match against the Czech Republic, also in Jönköping, on 9 November 2000. Liv was drafted in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft by the Detroit Red Wings in the third round, 102nd overall.^[6]

Liv signed a one-year contract with the Red Wings in May 2006,^[5] but started season 2006–07 playing for the Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League (AHL).^[7] He was recalled by the Red Wings on 17 November 2006.^[8] On 26 November 2006, Liv was back with the Grand Rapids playing against Houston Aeros. Two days later, Liv was assigned to the Toledo Storm in ECHL when the Grand Rapids recalled goalie Logan Koopmans.^[9] He was later recalled by Grand Rapids.

After one season with the Detroit Red Wings' organization, playing mostly for Grand Rapids, totaling a save percentage of .895 over 34 games, he signed a three-year contract with his former Swedish club HV71.^[10] He continued the 2007–08 season by winning the Swedish Championship and was awarded the Guldpucken as the Player of the Year in the Elitserien. Season 2009-10 Liv played again at HV 71, and he was selected to Swedens Olympic team for Vancouver Olympics 2010, where he was third goalie after New York Rangers Henrik Lundvist and Toronto Maple Leafs Jonas Gustavsson. Season 2010-11 Liv played at Sibir Novosibirsk in KHL, and was selected KHL All-star game 2011. For season 2011-12 Liv moved to Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. ^[11]

Death[link]

On 7 September 2011, Liv was killed when a Yakovlev Yak-42 passenger aircraft, carrying nearly his entire Lokomotiv team, crashed just outside Yaroslavl, Russia. The team was traveling to Minsk to play their opening game of the season, with its coaching staff and prospects. Lokomotiv officials said "'everyone from the main roster was on the plane plus four players from the youth team.'"^[12][13][14]

As a result of Liv's death, the premier round games of the 2011–12 Elitserien season, between 13–15 September, began with a one-minute silence.^[15] In honour, his No. 1 jersey will be retired and raised to the rafters by HV71 in Kinnarps Arena prior to HV71's home game against Timrå IK on 10 January 2012.^[16][17] To remember Liv throughout the 2011–12 season, all player jerseys in HV71's team carry number 1 on the front.^[18] On 10 September 2011, over 10,000 fans of HV71 attended Kinnarps Arena, HV71's home arena, to honor Stefan Liv.^[19]

In their 2011 season opener, each member of the Detroit Red Wings wore a patch bearing "BM*RS*SL" to honor the memories of Liv, Lokomotiv coach Brad McCrimmon, and defenseman Ruslan Salei.^[20] Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard also paid a personal tribute to the three men on the back of his mask.^[21] Liv and Howard had shared goaltending duties during Liv's season with the Grand Rapids Griffins.^[22]

Liv's body was buried at the Sofiakyrkan church in Jönköping on 2 October 2011, with 120 friends and relatives arriving at the scene and leaving one rose flower each on Liv's coffin.^[23][24]

Biography[link]

Lisa Miskovsky quickly placed herself on the Swedish rock music charts with her debut album Lisa Miskovsky and single "Driving One of Your Cars", with Swedish releases in 2001. Following this release, she received two Swedish Rock Bear awards; one for Best Swedish Newcomer, and the other for Best Swedish Female Artist of the Year. She followed up her musical success with the album Fallingwater, released in 2003, which quickly climbed to number one in the Swedish pop charts, even reaching platinum sales. The album's success came greatly from two of its songs "Lady Stardust" and "Sing To Me" which both became hits. "Lady Stardust" was also a radio hit in countries like Germany and the United Kingdom.

Some of her music was produced by Joakim Berg, also known as a songwriter for the Swedish rock band Kent, and Simon Nordberg.

Miskovsky performed the theme song "Still Alive" for Mirror's Edge (Not to be confused with a song from Portal - of the same name, which was sung by Ellen McLain), a first person action-adventure video game developed by EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE). A remix album titled Still Alive - the Remixes was released on 11 November 2008 to coincide with the North American release date of Mirror's Edge. The album featured Miskovsky's original version, along with remixes by Benny Benassi, Junkie XL, Paul van Dyk, Armand Van Helden, and Teddybears.^[2]

Evgeny Evgenyevich Artyukhin (Russian: Евге́ний Евге́ньевич Артю́хин; born April 4, 1983) is a Russian professional hockey player.

Playing career[link]

After spending most of the 2005–06 season with the Lightning, Artyukhin left for Russia after contract negotiations soured with Tampa Bay.

When the 2006–07 season ended with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, Artyukhin rejected a $475,000 contract from the Tampa Bay Lightning. His agent, Mark Gandler, asked Tampa Bay to trade him, claiming that the Lightning were punishing Artyukhin for not resigning a year before. It is believed that Evgeny was seeking a $1 million contract. In 2007–08, Artyukhin played for CSKA Moscow, recording nine points and 99 penalty minutes in 23 games. On July 7, 2008, the Tampa Bay Lightning officially re-signed Artyukhin to a two year deal worth $1.9 million.

On August 13, 2009, he was traded to the Anaheim Ducks for Drew Miller and a third round draft pick.

On October 21, 2009, Artyukhin was also suspended for three games after slewfooting Dallas Stars' defenseman Matt Niskanen. Although there was no original penalty called by the referees during the match, the NHL suspended him after reviewing the play.^[1] Artyukhin later apologized to the public stating that the incident was unintentional.^[2]

Evgeny was invited to the 2010 Winter Olympics Summer Camp for Team Russia, but did not make the final roster cut. On March 1, 2010, Artyukhin was traded to the Atlanta Thrashers for Nathan Oystrick and a conditional pick.^[3]

On April 24, 2011, Artyukhin received a 5+20 minute penalty for his part in a brawl in Euro Hockey Tour.^[4][5]
