Remember seeing one guy lose an eye in a game. Fucking grim. Achilles tendons, wrists. Facial injuries. I’ve said to my wife many times that someone will die in a game. The speed they move at is incredible. I used to go and watch it with my family when I was a kid and was young and naive at the time and didn’t realise the dangers involved but this tragedy just brings home how dangerous it actually is.

I played when I first came to Canada. Loved the game, but I was not going anywhere as I started when I was 11. Most kids learn to skate around 3/4 years old. I just went back to making a cunt of them at footie. 😉. An ice hockey rink is 200 ft long. There’s a guy that plays for Edmonton (Conor McDavid), fuck me he’s the fastest player I’ve ever seen. He was timed at just under 41 mph in an all star race just recently. It’s mind boggling. It would be like getting hit by a car. barrymorrison1, Bluekev and Bobby Hume 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboscot 1,176 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I just saw the clip. Looks like he's tried to take the legs out of the player that skates across him, misses and the momentum of missing and losing balance at the same time carries his leg up into the boy. Horrific outcome but I think it would be a hard one for a court to prove intent to kill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the speed they travel at and on ice skates the slightest nudge can knock them off balance. The fact people think he could control his feet at that speed to hit someone in the neck is just ridiculous Horrendous decision to arrest him.
