I really hope it comes to fruition, I also love Jr hockey and would LOVE to be able to attend live games. Would be an awesome fix considering I only ever get to make 1-2 games a year if that in Calgary.

A bit of an old bump, so please move this if we feel it should go elsewhere, but there was an interesting look back done on penalties doled out to the Flames by refs in the year after the incident. Interesting read if nothing else:

Not surprised by the lawsuit. Personally see an or of court settlement. Won't be anywhere close to what he's asking for through.

Just a thought, Doctors have said Wideman was concussed, right? So should the other officials be named in the suit too? Had they blown the play dead for the player with the head injury, this never would have happened. I think Wideman wins easily and files a counter-suit for defamation of character and the personal trauma this ordeal has caused him.

As long as the War Room in Toronto isn't on the jury, this should be an obvious win, amirightfellas!?

I don't see the Flames or the NHL letting this get to court. There will be an out of court settlement.

Serious question: was the lawsuit filed in the US or Canada? I can't find anything about that. With the amount he's asking, I'm assuming it's in the US. Will it go anywhere if the event in question happened in Canada?
I seem to recall the Bertuzzi/Moore case was filed in both countries but I don't remember what happened to that.

Filed in USA, and it was rejected because it happened in Canada wasn't it? So, maybe same will occur with this one?
Then settled out of court in Canada after a few years and it seemed Moore just went quiet (presumably as part of the agreement of the settlement?).

Setting up the play?
I don't really understand how Henderson has a chance at a civil suit on a play that has already been deemed to be unintentional. To what extent are players liable for accidental actions within a hockey game that lead to injury? If a player shoots the puck and hits a ref in the head, is he liable?

Probably Canada - heard on the Fan960 that the Government of Alberta is one of the plaintiffs to recover some of the medical expenses incurred during treatment.

It was filed in a Calgary court as per TSN, not sure about it being filed in US as well.

It was filed April 18th... so no, no gentlemen involved as it was the day of the most important game of the season.
