PCM Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 In this post last Aug. 10, Nick Fuher requested that members of SiouxSports.com refrain from discussing his injury. I know it's a free country and that's why I'm not trying to censor anyone. But with as much as Nick gave to Sioux hockey, shouldn't we respect his wishes?

stafford_rules Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 he sounds very professional. As you wish Nick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux-cia Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 My question was not meant to sound like over the fence gossip chatter. Regardless of how much he wants to ease back out of the lime light, he was an important part of the Sioux hockey community for four years and before that the GF Central HS hockey community. We all are concerned about his future and how he's doing. But, I will respect his request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 the update was GREAT.....thanks for posting it and best of luck to Nick if he tries to play again or not!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles1416 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I think it should be requirement to wear a cage....whenever they get tapped in the face they turn into flippin soccer players and fake an injury to gain the pp.......that has FFFAAAGGG written all over it. That's just my opinion though:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just my opinion though:) This isn't about getting "tapped in the face". It's about a permanent eye injury that happened to one of our own. Whatever it has written all over it, so far is a choice that players make. Thanks for your opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprig Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Odd, on Coach's Corner last night Cherry was all caught up in a protective flexible cover that goes on the dasher edge, and how it will really help avoid injuries. Shows footage of a number of nasty hits where the players face gets smashed into that edge causing some nasty cuts (Draper one of them). Looks like a great product, but why is the NHL going to great lenghts to protect players faces and eyes by coating the rink in protective coverings, but refuses to require full masks or shields of their players. The tough guy image only goes so far, especially when it gets to eye injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxmama Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I agree that there should be some kind protection for players, eye shield or full face. They made the change to require helmets to protect from head injuries, and I think that eye or other facial injuries should be the next issue. Why dont the refs have to wear helmets? My last post had to do with the choices that they can still make in pro hockey, and the post from miles 1416, IMO, was ignorrant. Just my opinoin though.
