Wow, that’s an obvious high kick. Zero reason to do that other than to cause grave bodily injury, considering that there’s a sharpened blade firmly attached to each foot. Murder possibly, or manslaughter at the very least. This was no accident.
Yea that definitely looks like a purposeful kick. The small bump with the other guy prior certainly wasn’t enough contact to send a leg flying up to head-level!
I had my kids wear neck guards during youth hockey. They protested a little, but not much.
Yea, right, he was watching that other skater all the time in order throw a skate at his throat while he initiated his check on player one.
Stop it with your nonsense.....
Maybe the skate “slasher” was really a hockey Ninja.....Who woulda thought.......
Watch the video.
Read up on the perp’s history on the ice.
The perp lifted his leg and slashed his opponent in the throat with the blade on his skate.
The perp is black.
The vic is white.
And the UK enemedia is having a pity party for the perp.
ECHL announces fine, suspension
...The ECHL on Sunday announced that Brampton’s Matt Petgrave has been suspended indefinitely and fined an undisclosed amount as a result of his actions in ECHL Game #963, Brampton at Kalamazoo, on April 7.
Petgrave is fined and suspended under Rule #28 – Supplementary Discipline as a result of his actions at 3:46 of the third period...
Petgrave fined for Abuse of Officials
Here's one from 2010..
Pettgrave should be up on manslaughter charges, or whatever the equivalent is in the UK.
And there should be serious questions asked and answered about why he had been allowed to continue playing.
That was murder. No question in my mind it was murder. The poor man bled out so quick he didn’t have time to realize he was dying.
Oh wow, I wish I didn’t watch that. Brutal all that blood.
Updated article:
I was gonna let this go, but I just watched the video again a few times. They player he supposedly checked didn't even wobble when they passed each other. They didn't even make contact.
The only nonsense spouted here is by you.
Yes. This was no “freak accident.” The high-kick to the neck looks quite intentional. The player who did this should be charged with murder2 or manslaughter.
Brutal!
So shove it.....

Sounds like a pissing contest to me, bro. You're the kind who, once he decides he believes something, won't ever let it go. Despite any evidence. So, a waste of time.
When they come out with some closer video and charges on that guy you can come back here and apologize.
I just know you will.
