just read this about Ice hockey dont think a kick t the chest is legal !
"Player s are allowed to physically engage with an opponent using their strength and balance as long as their primary focus is to gain possession of the puck . In classification where body checking is allowed, the focus of the body check must be to gain possession of the puck ."

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.
