Coached for many years and have been at many tournaments, jamborees, and games with no medical personnel present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious to see the essential elements of the charge, and I'd love to see the jury instructions if the case got to that point. With the assumption of risk/consent, or whatever doctrine is applicable to sporting events in this case, it will be pretty complicated to sort out. Some incidents have been clearly outside the scope of the sporting event, but that's a tough line to draw as far as what can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. I don't know how the "reckless" or "negligent" culpability levels are applied to sports. I believe most in-competition criminal charges are based on intentional acts clearly outside the scope of play, ala Todd Bertuzzi. A ton of incidents in sporting events could be deemed reckless or "dirty" and result in injury. I suspect the prosecutors will have to be on their game for this one. Marty McSorley too. Think about what went on on the ice many years ago. McSorley & Bertuzzi stuff happened much more frequently. Not condoning that behavior but that was the way it was.

I agree there can be times when we needed more than first aid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 One of the coaches in the youth system I played in was an MD. Very handy at least once. (Non-skate injury but nasty cut from a stanchion.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 The visor is useless if it's coming at you from below (like that, or a puck riding up your stick shaft). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
