That's horrendous, when I first read the initial report it was just explained as a collision, it made it sound like the blade of a hockey stick cut his throat during a check. The whole way it was described made you think it was incredible that these accidents didn't happen more often.

The initial reports were so totally at odd with what I saw it was bizarre.
The video was from a phone from the back of one of the stands so you didn't see any of the detail (thank god) as above I can buy the idea that it was a kick aimed at the chest which has gone horribly wrong. I have no idea if that considered reasonable in hockey, I hope not.

I had the miss fortune of seeing a grainy video of this on social media the night it happened and was surprised it was being described tragic accident. (I assume that’s about as much I should say about my opinion)
