Or players losing their careers when they shatter their heels a'la Joni Pitkanen
Last NHL game the man would ever play in and one of the last games he'd ever play in. It would take him 3 years to get on the ice again and even then he played only 3 games before he retired.
And it could have been worse. As recently as 2013, there was a player named Ronny Keller in Europe who went into the boards hard and is now a paraplegic.
