Scary stuff! I hope Tucker has a speedy recovery and that all who were in the arena are coping well. Those kind of live events can be traumatizing for many involved. I remember the Faneli hit in Kitch and being very upset/emotional afterwards.

Hope for all the best for entire Ice Dogs organization

Prayers to Tucker. Hopefully he’s back on the ice soon.

I heard at least two fans behind the Icedogs net fainted. Most others in shock

I would definitely have been one of those people!

These events have such an intense aftermath. I really hope all of the kids in the crowd are not too traumatized but with that amount of commotion and blood I'm sure there will be some sleepless nights.

Hoping for the best for him, his family and the organization. Hoping they all know they have the support of hockey fans everywhere.

great to hear the young man is doing well after such a scary and fluky incident.

and shame on the knights fan taunting him behind the net. glad to hear he got punched in the chops.

Time to put hockey on pause and life in the forefront. Thoughts and prayers to Tucker and his family.

My prayers to Tucker, family, fans and organization.

 

[OttersFan]

Thoughts and prayers to Tucker and his family for a speedy recovery. He's one of the best in the league and thoughts go out to the entire Niagara Icedogs Organization who had to witness this firsthand. When something like this happens, hockey gets put on hold and we all should come together as a league. Glad he is in stable condition.

 

[three dog night]

Hope that fan who heckled gets banned for life at all OHL arenas.

 

[Knights Watcher]

Hope that fan who heckled gets banned for life at all OHL arenas.

Not making any excuses for that ‘fan’ but I really hope he was drunk and his judgement was impaired because if he wasn’t drunk and was clearheaded he has some bigger emotional problems that need to be addressed. Hope they find out who it was, he gets banned from any OHL arena and he is publicly shamed. There is no room for that in this league or any league.

 

[AttackSound]

Thoughts and prayers to TT and the whole Ice Dogs organization never nice to see injuries like that no matter who the team is never a good thing to see a player get injured.

 

[PhlyerPhanatic31]

Hope that fan who heckled gets banned for life at all OHL arenas.

I posted the same thing on the Knights board

Agreed the person should never see a rink again..but how is someone so quick to jump to the conclusion it was a Knights fan?

 

[OHLoutsider2020]

Thinking of everyone involved tonight. Scary to say the least. Get better Tucker and come back stronger than ever.

 

[DontEverTouchMyPuck]

Was at the game and talked to people near that section, said the fan was hammered and was banging on the glass all game. Was screaming at refs to get the game going.
Nobody thought he was a Knights fan, just a drunk idiot.

 

[Millpond]

Our thoughts are with this Ice Dog, his family, and team . I can't imagine what they are going through tonight.

Shame on the man who decided his 'performance ' was more important than saving Tucker's life.

Let's hope the arena staff, security snd The OHL have identified him and banned him from attending future games.

Obviously has a problem

 

[OHLTG]

Here from Windsor, thoughts are with you guys tonight. Hockey is taking a back seat right now. Hopefully he can make a full recovery.

PP31, it doesn't matter if it was a knights fan, an Ice Dog fan, a Storm fan or just someone at the game, this kind of stupidity can't be tolerated. A ban for life is a start. Public disclosure of the guy would be awesome.
Read my post on the Storm thread, time to protect our (all teams) goalies.

Wishing the kid speedy recovery !

 

[Houndsfan22]

Hey guys. Picked up this tidbit of info late last night while at work. Naturally I flocked over here to confirm. Glad to see he’s recovering and in stable condition. That is some scary stuff. Makes you appreciate the toughness of these men a little more. If you have never played, or have, it’s not hard to recognize the amount of sacrifice these guys put into their craft to make it next level. Kudos to the team behind the scenes for their professionalism in their own craft and also for putting up with that heckling asshole I would not designate as a fan. Fans don’t do that sort of stuff. Hope his face is plastered and the league bans him from OHL games. Enjoy your weekend away stretch and Merry Christmas to all of you! Hope to see some of you up here for February 8th.

My point is why was somebody so quick to anoint the guy a Knights fan. Every rink has idiots. I've witnessed my fair share in my 50 seasons following this league. As was pointed out...no hockey fan acts this way when a player is injured with that type of severity

On a side note wishing a speedy recovery for Tucker...very scary incident. It's time to make kevlar socks mandatory at all levels. Yes this was a fluke...but why take chances

prayer for total healing and recovery Tucker!
