Last Sunday a tragedy occurred in the world of hockey. An 8 year old hockey fan died after being hit by a puck during FFHG Division 1 game in France. The 8 year old (Hugo Vermeersch) was hit in the ear with a puck during the third period of the hockey game. Shortly after he went into cardiac arrest. A doctor who attended the game performed CPR until firefighters came and took the boy to the local hospital. Unfortunately the boy died from his injuries on Sunday morning.
Personally I think that if this teaches us anything it is that better safety should be installed in hockey arenas. For example mesh above the fiberglass should be extended to the ceiling of the arena around all sides of the rink. Although the loss of Hugo is tragic I think that it has to send a message to those in charge of safety in hockey arenas.
