    Russian hockey team wins second-straight championship, goalie immediately drops the trophy

    Yaroslavl Lokomotiv won their second consecutive Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) championship by defeating Ak Bars Kazan in Game 6. Goalie Alexei Melnichuk immediately dropped the Gagarin Cup after attempting to lift it, highlighting the trophy's immense weight. The KHL, often compared to the NHL for its eccentricities, celebrates with the Gagarin Cup, named after Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.
