Rules for fights in hockey are very similar to boxing and martial arts as to what is allowed and legal, and what isn't. Generally, it is illegal to hit anyone from behind and in the head, except of using fists in a fight [depending on the league and association you have to fight with or without gloves]. Charging at someone, intent to injure, kicking, jumping, or using your stick, skates, gear, or puck as a weapon, etc will result in a major penalty and ejection from the game. In many cases there will also be a hearing with players' safety and a suspension from X amount of games, depending on the severity of the misconduct and resulting injuries. If it was actual assault with the intent to injure there will be criminal charges and possible suspension or ban from the league or even association/federation - i.e. the person will not be allowed to play pro or amateur hockey in any North American or European league again.

@@NightWarp I'm pretty sure all NHL goalies are required to wear neck guards. Most wear guards put on their chest protectors that aren't very visible under their uniforms, so you don't notice it if you're not up close. If you're looking for it, you'll usually see it. After the Adam Johnson incident (if you don't know it, don't look it up) it's become more "in-fashion" in the NHL, with generally two or three skaters a team now wearing one. Used to be only a couple at most in the league to the point that players who did wear it were identifiable by it. Tomas Plekanec, or "turtleneck", as he was known, for example.

The reason why there are sometimes criminal charges is because there are differing levels of offenses and penalties. Minor and major penalties are considered relatively safe and interfere with game play. A match penalty is dangerous, often intentional, and can lead to additional penalties. So, for example, body checking is allowed because they are trained on how to take a hit. When someone is checked from behind, they cannot prepare, and they are much more likely to be seriously injured. Any hits to the head are basically match penalties and can lead to charges due to how dangerous they are (whether it's hitting with stick, hand, whatever).

Thank you for saying your peice on PTSD, as someone with CPTSD my life is pervasively impacted by it every single day

My dad runs a beer league in Minnesota, about a year and a half ago, their oldest member who was in his early 70s at the time died on the bench without warning, and the team managed to do CPR and use the AED until paramedics came. Four months later, he was back and skating with them again. He just passed yesterday, but it's one of the single greatest stories to ever come out of their league.

The way I always understood these types of criminal charges is that they can happen whenever an action occurs that can't be considered "within the game". Fighting happens, slashes on hands happen, getting hit with an errant skate, a hit against the boards. But deliberately slashing someone in the head or purposefully sucker punching someone and driving their face into the ice is well beyond the expected limits of the game

Thank you for your statement about the seriousness of PTSD. Thanks to some nasty stuff that I'm not going to go into I suffer from PTSD. Some days it's okay but when that flashback hits or those reminders happen it's hell on Earth. Seeing people laugh and joke about PTSD, for example saying their friend has PTSD about a subject just because that friend gets angry about something, kinda really pisses me off

As someone with diagnosed PTSD, can confirm; struggle. Significantly. for 12 years now. It's "better" but it's still there and it never seems to go away (who knows in the future, right?) It affects my sleep, mood, anxiety, relationships, sex drive, trust issues. It's not an acronym that needs to be bandied around. Understanding needs to come first - if not of the individual then at least of the symptoms and their effects on the individual.

As a hockey ref and a nurse, I’ve been waiting for this!!! A couple summers ago, a coach took a slap shot right between the eyes after it deflected. Blood everywhere. Coincidentally, the head coach on the other team was a facial surgeon. And, If you would like, I can explain the unspoken rules of fighting. Basically, both players have to be in agreement. Can’t sucker punch people. Can’t go after star players. Fighting players are called “enforcers,” and when teams have good ones, injuries on the team are lower as people don’t want to cheap shot when they will get beat.

To my best understanding as someone who grew up with a hockey obsessed dad; yes, fighting is part of the sport and is generally celebrated but there's rules about it. Don't hit people from behind, don't use your skates/sticks as weapons, things like that. That's what makes the difference between criminal charges and not basically, they replay the incident and try to see if one of those things happened. For example the incident where you brought this up around 6:20 you can see the one player intentionally grabbed the other's jersey from behind to pull him back, intentionally hit him in the head, and pushed him down onto the ice. But the incident around 1:45 where the one guy pushed the other and then got slashed with the skate would be considered an accident because when the guy was pushed he has no real control over where his limbs are going so it wasn't intentional that he hit the other player with his skate. And the incident around 3:00 wasn't an accident, the other player intentionally slapped him in the face with their stick vs the previous video where it was clearly an accident.

@jaynestrange

2 ай бұрын

Yeah, and fighting does result in a penalty, players just do it anyway which is why there are rules. And important, though unwritten, rule is that both players need to agree to fight. And here in Canada that's taken pretty seriously by the players & the fans. If a player just skates up & hits another guy from behind, the fans of his own team might loose their respect for him. I think it's probably similar in other full-contact sports, you're allowed to hurt people, but only if they're ready for it. Otherwise you're seen as a coward or a jerk who's scared of a fair fight.

YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. If you do a part two I'd look at the Capitals' John Carlson's injury last year. We were all celebrating Ovechkin reaching Gordie Howe's goal record and the next moment Carlson had taken a puck to the face. Blood on the ice, got taken to the hospital, and everything. He was out for most of the season. I watched on TV but it was definitely one of those moments where the entire stadium was quiet. Nobody made a sound while he was down.

​@@lowtierduster-7254 I think you misunderstood? They meant that maybe you could find a way to make the blades shorter so they don't go so deep whenever they do cut, like some sort of guard that leaves only a tiny bit of the blade uncovered. Of course blunt force would become more prominent, but lacerating a major blood vessel is WAY more dangerous.

"OFF THE FLOOR! ON THE BOARD! PAUL KARIYA!" 5:30 i was mentally preparing myself for that absolutely amazing moment, sadly it wasn't in there. Totally agree tho, there comes a point you have to prioritize your future over the game and a concussion that will impact him for the rest of his life crosses that point.

Clint Malarchuck deserves his own video. Hearing the entire story from his perspective is very cool, but also insanely scary.

There are so many more of those that he can make a whole series. Richard Zednik's laceration, Eric Lindros's center ice concussion, Max Paciorrety's head hitting a stanchion, etc.. lots of ground to cover.. :)

The Zednik incident was remarkable because it was his carotid. If it had been a complete tra section, the two ends would have snapped back and taken too long to find and fix. The other thing that saved him was that an ER nurse was watching the game at the nearest hospital, and immediately called in the vascular surgeon so that she was arriving as Zednik was.

the player didn’t “lift” his skate, it most likely flew upwards because he fell forward after his skate collided with the skate of the player next to him. unfortunate accident, but an accident nonetheless.

people don't seem to realize the speed of the game where these things can and has happened, its obvious Petgrave clipped Johnsons teammate which caused him to fall the way he did. I wonder if people saying it was on purpose have ever seen a full hip check before, where players literally get flipped. I mean the devils guy cutting the flyers players stomach is a less extreme example since the type of contact was different, but still resulted in an accidental cut. Hell, go look up Richard Zednik where his teammate got hit by a sabres player which caused his skate to cut his neck. And honestly I don't think Petgrave could have physically lifed his leg that high on his own given his momentum going the opposite direction of Johnson. Also he would have had a split second to make a decision to purposely life his skate like that. Maybe even less time than a split second. The issue is we live in the digital age where there's more eyes seeing these things than before and a ton of people create uneducated and emotional reactions to this sort of thing.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR A LONG TIME!!! sorry I'm really excited

the fact that the last guy survived is incredible cosidering Adam johnsons injury and recent passing

The one I remember as a kid that freaked me out, especially seeing him afterwards, was when Börje Salming took a skate to the face and had so many stitches across so much of his face. I can still picture the photo of him on the cover of the Toronto papers. It was gruesome.

I’m related to the head nurse who took care of Steve Moore in the hospital. That entire story will always ring in my head, especially because it took Moore out of the league for good, and it broke up the WCE for good. And all because Naslund was taken out by Steve Moore for a few games without retaliation.

I remember I had kinda wanted to play hockey when I was in highschool and then my health class was watching sport injuries and the last one in this videos showed up. I have been afraid to ever try hockey or even skating on ice ever since. I know that now they have regulations to wear neck guards and such but I can never shake the thought of that happening to someone. Truly a scary moment and I'm glad he survived

Would love to see you do more of these for hockey. There's been some truly crazy stuff that's happened to players during games.

Thank you for your comments about PTSD. I find it so difficult when people joke about it because everyday is a fight for me. There's nothing funny about it.

Despite not being a doctor, I’ve always been a medical field/mental health nerd so I appreciate the breakdowns and explanations, Mike. Keep the uploads coming.

Id like to thank you for speaking up about misusing and overusing words and terms like trauma and PTSD. So many people nowadays are obsessed with claiming to have these problems, self disgnosing, and calling every minor discomfort "tRaUMAtiZiNg" and its so dsmn insulting and regressive to those (like myself) who struggle on a daily basis eith that condition. I really do appreciate you calling this out. Suck of feeling belittlement snd disregard jdmkkj

1:45 Brayden Schenn (the player hit by the skate) scored the OT winner in that game.

9:41 I discovered another video about this particular injury...there was a shot where I think this player was sitting on the ice while blood was pouring from his neck, and the broadcast cut away from it immediately afterward. That was seriously gruesome.
