PRAGUE, Czech Republic (AP) -- Police completed their investigation of Dominik Hasek and say charges should be brought against the NHL star for hurting a player during an inline hockey game.
Hasek, the Detroit Red Wings' goaltender who is coming out of retirement, has denied any wrongdoing.
Police investigated for two months and on Wednesday sent their report to the state prosecutor, who will decide whether Hasek will be formally charged with causing bodily harm, an offense punishable by up to eight years in prison, police spokeswoman Ilona Kratochvilova said Friday.
She said police relied on eyewitness accounts and medical reports from the hospital where the injured played was treated.
Police began investigating Hasek after a May 18 game in Pardubice. Hasek, playing for Bonfire Strida, collided with Martin Sila of SK Pardubice. According to media reports, Hasek knocked Sila down with a crosscheck to the back, sat on him and hit him in the neck several times with his stick.
