Extremely unfortunate situation.

    Wow, that sucks. That area needs to be mobile so not really sure how it can be protected from a force impact.

      You’re right. Hockey is still a great activity, we’ve made it reasonably safe (especially for youth) but it’s never going to be perfect.

      This is one of those situations where you mourn for the family, but nothing needs to be changed because there isn’t a significant risk of this specific issue happening and there’s nothing reasonable that can be adjusted with regards to gear or rules in order to prevent this in the future.

    Really shitty situation for the family of the boy but I’m also thinking about the lasting trauma that must’ve been inflicted on the kid who shot that puck. Hope he gets the help he needs to work through it.
