OUCH. I'm so glad he's OK. That could not have ended so well.

The name escapes me, but a Buffalo goalie near 20 years ago had his throat slit by a skate during a game.

Saw the video this morning. His carotid artery was hit. Blood almost immediately started spraying all over the ice. It was pretty gruesome.

I remember a similar thing happening in the late ‘70’s to Rick MacLeish of the Philadelphia Flyers.

They ought to design a guard for this. I was thinking of something like a small strip of chain mail that is sewn into the collar of the shirt they wear under their pads. Extend the collar up, a little like a turtle neck, and it could be quite flexible and comfortable but still keep a skate blade from penetrating in a critical area.
How about it Under Armour?

Ouch...this happened 20 or so years ago to a Buffalo Sabres goalie. Glad he’s ok.

I’m glad he is OK too. That’s a horrible accident.

the article has changed since original posting and no longer contains info on the Buffalo goalie and how the NHL instituted neck protection. Here is a shot of Cam Ward playing. You can see all of his neck. I wonder what "protection" the NHL has them wear?
