NHL player Andrej Kuzmenko is changing his jersey number to 62 from 10. The reason: Kuzmenko will honour his father, who died last week at the age of 62 after being attacked by a bear, ESPN reports.
Russian media reported last week that his father was killed in a bear attack while on a fishing trip in Siberia. Andrei Kuzmenko attended his father's funeral in Moscow but has now returned to Pittsburgh, which will face Montreal on Saturday.
