Injured Benilde hockey player

[northern_guy]

You have been to one high school hockey game this year? you sure have a lot of credibility. Many times these hits are because of players turning their backs at the last possible moment. You are crazy to think the wayzata kid should be punished any more than a penalty on the ice. If this kid doesn't get hurt during the play there is probably no penalty. You weren't at the game so you're taking the Star Tribune as your credible source? come on man, wise up. Checking from behind is often an accident....? how can you say all of this? You're calling a high school kid an idiot forward? You need to re-read what you just posted and figure out that you are the idiot Northern_guy.

you are dead wrong...damn right i am calling the wayzata player and idiot. i am SICK of forwards doing this. they do it non stop in highschool cause the penalty is literally nothing. nothing enrages me more than checking from behind, and then people like you defending it as an accident. you cant fight in high school hockey but you can paralyze people by cheap shots from behind. how can you defend these actions...you live in fantasy land and you think this problem will go away if you ignore it.

Okay well first of all, it should be "an idiot." But seriously man you just sound like a crazy guy ranting about this stuff. Why are you so sick of forwards doing this? do defensemen not do this? The "stop sign" on the back of the jerseys in youth have an adverse effect on this issue. Kids are told growing up that no one will hit them from behind and they don't learn to protect themselves because they assume it will never happen to them. Please watch a NHL game sometime and notice how these players protect themselves when their back is against the ice. The reason it happens less in the NHL and more in high school is because of kids protecting themselves. You WERE NOT at this particular game so how you can make a judgement on this is completely RIDICULOUS. please stop bashing a kid from Wayzata that you know nothing about. If this was your kid would you tell him he's an idiot when he came home after the game? Be sympathetic to all parties here because this can literally affect this kid the rest of his life. It could happen to anyone, and it was a freak accident thing. 999 times out of 1000 this particular hit doesn't result in any injury. Please stop.

fox9 news said the spine is severed...he will never walk again. it does not matter if i was at this game. the selfish actions of a player wrecked another players life. you are dilusional to think this was a freak accident. it was waiting to happen because of checking from behind. the wayzata playr will get no sympathy from me. in all my years of playing bouth highschool and college hockey i alwasy took this very seriously and will not tolerate it at all. you are an idiot. should it make the injured players family feel good that 999 0ut of 1000 it doesnt result in an injury? shut up now.
