I was coaching a U18 team over 10 years ago when our player got upended in front of the other team’s goalie. His skate went up and cut the goalie across the neck. We coaches ran out and applied pressure until the EMTs arrived. The goalie was awake the whole time, and his father was his team’s coach. Fortunately it did not hit an artery and he recovered. But everyone felt sick after that and we just canceled the game.

So …. I probably missed the details …. But did the players skate slice the neck? Or the boot itself struck the neck like blunt force trauma? Or is it something else entirely?

From the article,

Quote

The injury was noticeable immediately

It doesn't take much extrapolation to realize what that means.
