Damn that's crazy, I've heard something like this happen before in the NHL a long time ago and the were able to stop the bleeding.

Dude got hit and his skate went into the air and caught another player on the side of the neck.

Happened to a high school kid in CT last year, slashed by another player when he collided into him after he fell onto the ice

They need to start wearing neck protective gear.

Many people want to see it out of curiosity. If you don’t want to watch it, don’t watch it then.

They do, but its not mandatory, so some dont.

You see shyt like this on the ice every game, (get hit, feet fly in the air) but this time his neck was in the air. RIP

Sad, I wonder if they could start using some sort of throat guard. Like a Kevlar top portion of a turtle neck.

Edit: looks like they already have devices to help minimize events like this - https://www.purehockey.com/c/hockey-protective-neck-wrist-guards
