The club is saddened with the news of one of their coaches – Igor Novodran - passing away after a tragic accident while flying his plane on Tuesday, March 11.  It is a loss to those who knew him and to his students who loved him, and especially his wife, Lana and daughter, Anastasia.  Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

For those of you who would like to remember and honor Igor, a donation page has been set up to help his fmaily with the burdens that this tragedy has left behind as they try to put the pieces of their lives back together after such a great loss.

Igor, we will miss you.
