[Ducks DVM]

Killed him?

He wasn't wearing a helmet. Bashing someone's head repeatedly into a hard surface can kill them, yes.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Killed him?

That's a felony assault anywhere outside a hockey rink.

Regina wins 3-2 in OT. Mahura with 3 assists, Steel with a goal and an assist (both on PP).

It's extremely hard to kill somebody with one punch though

 

[Ducks DVM]

Yes, but not terribly difficult by bouncing the back of ones head off of something like ice. That wasn't a standard hockey punch, his head had nowhere to go to soften the blow by being pushed away by the punch into open air.

Regardless, I didn't say it was easy or likely. But it's sure as hell possible in that circumstance.

It was a very reckless play for sure and he should probably be suspended for at least 20 games

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Bill Masterton died from hitting his head on the ice.

 

[Gliff]

Killed him?

Getting his head bashed into the ice multiple times with no helmet, yes.

Ive never seen that before in hockey. Someone laying on their back getting punched in the face multiple times. The fight STARTED with him on his back. WTF

 

[HanSolo]

Absolutely disgusting.

Easily. Plus civil damages after the injury was incurred.

Seen something similar once before, 20 odd years ago. Huge brawl between the Hawks and Panthers, Jim Cummins punched somebody who was already down on the ice and got a huge suspension, 8 or 10 games. Might have been Nieds, now that I think about it.

I hate to "defend" the play because there really is no defense for it, but he really only got punched once. It's a disgusting play and the guy who did it should probably sit out the rest of the year

Someone at the game said he got hit again after the camera was blocked.

 

[Kalv]

Soy player of the week in the WHL. 12 points in 4 games

 

[SergeConstantin74]

15 games suspension for Charlie Roy after the incident with Comtois

The Royals having Soy and Matthew Phillips this year is ridiculous. Those two will destroy the dub. I'm surprised Soy went back for his overage year tbh but maybe there was too much depth in San Diego this year to get adequate playing time.

 

[Dryish]

15 games suspension for Charlie Roy after the incident with Comtois

http://theqmjhl.ca/video/roy-suspended-15-games

15 bloody games is not enough for that crap. Should sit out for the whole season.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

I think the league decided on 15 games because Roy is 20 and Shawinigan can't replace him in the lineup with another 20 yo player as long as he is suspended.

15 games is 1/4 of a season, which can seem longer when it's your last season in junior hockey.

But I agree it should have been longer. The whole season would have been surprising though.

Steel and Mahura made the WHL team for the Canada-Russia series.
Comtois and Morand made the QMJHL team. None of our OHL guys made it.

little surprised jones didn't make it

 

[Goose of Reason]

He's American so he's ineligible.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

He's American so he's ineligible.

Totally forgot he was american haha

 

[Kalv]

Oh, I had no idea only Canadians were eligible. But doesn`t look like Jones is having a good year so far anyway

 

[LDN]

Max Jones 3 goals, 9 shots and +2 tonight

 

[AngelDuck]

His team sucks and he needs to be in the AHL. Not too worried about it

 

[Opak]

Max Jones 3 goals, 9 shots and +2 tonight

Thanks for the update! Kitchener is a great team too, good to see Jones making an impact like that. Hopefully this is a sign of him finally starting to wake up... (game highlights here).

Kopacka also had a goal, highlights here. He's now up to 4 goals and 7 points in 10 games.

Royals played against the Pats -- Steel with 2 assists, Soy with 0 points and a -3 rating. Mahura was absent from Regina's lineup, is he hurt? Highlights here.

Comtois was absent from Victoriaville's lineup, as was expected. AB Titan lost 4-1, Morand was pointless with a -1 rating.


EDIT:

Mahura has suffered a knee injury, his status is apparently day-to-day.
