Many came immediately after news of the crash started to spread. Some came to light candles, others to lay flowers or team scarves beside the stadium wall. "It is terrible, a big loss for hockey and a big loss for the city of Yaroslavl. I stopped everything to come here. I am a hockey fan. I was an amateur player. My brother and son both play. This is really terrible," said one supporter. ---- A woman grieves outside an ice hockey arena in Yaroslavl September 8, 2011.
