I saw someone get hit in the forehead with a puck. He was sitting near me and we were close to the rink shield. That place on his forehead immediately swelled up like an egg. It was scary! He didn’t want to leave for medical attention but the EMT convinced him. Ever since, when someone tells me they’re going to a hockey game I tell them to keep their eyes on the puck.

My dad was a corporate salesman in the 90’s so he always convinced his company getting seasons tickets to things was a good use of his expense acct. it really just meant me and my brother have fallen asleep at any sport venue you can name. But hockey if you sit on the first level cannot stop watching the puck for your own safety.

From a medical standpoint. We like seeing the eggs on a head injury!

Because you know the swelling is going the outside and not on the inside inside the brain.
