Wow, that’s sad.
Malarchuk and Zednik must be having horrible PTSD.

That is NOT the news I wanted to see when I got up this morning.
In Malarchuk and Zednik's cases, they were both able to get off the ice quickly so treatment could begin in earnest.

Just an update: The Nottingham Panthers announced within the last hour or so that today's challenge cup game against Manchester(as well as all other games in the Elite League)and Tuesday night against Glasgow Clan have been postponed.

In this case, the skate was at the front of the throat and sliced both sides, so basically he was losing blood at twice the rate
I saw the video. Dude never had a chance. He took a kung fu kick to the throat. It's brutal. It's sad. Just.. god damn
That sucks. Sounds like two victims here. Terribly sad.
Horrible.
There has to be a way to require equipment to at least try and prevent these kinds of accidents happening.

There are throat guards, but they aren't required beyond minor hockey
Yep
Just like helmets did not used to be required
Do it now before this happens again
Be proactive not reactive
Agreed. And I don't know what the EIHL's policy is about having medical personnel on standby at all games, but it HAS to be strengthened.
Per Rochester head coach Seth Appert, the team has ordered additional neck guards along with the base layer shirt-neck guard combination.

For reference, we have cut proof socks you can buy.
The English Ice Hockey Association(which is the governing body for hockey in England and Wales)is making neck guards mandatory for all on-ice activities as of Dec. 31st. Due to expected supply issues, it isn't taking effect until then.

So, I wasn't looking for this. I stumbled on this.
There is a movement by racists for justice because the player whose skates got up is black and the victim is white. They are calling it murder and comparing it to the racial bias against whites like chauvin being found guilty.
I wish I was kidding

WHL is mandating throat guards for all players starting this Friday

I still haven't seen the video. I don't want to. What do you think of the guy being arrested?
