Edmonton hockey player guilty of assault

Seventeen days in hospital. Surgery to have part of his bowel removed. Tyler Hoekstra paid a heavy price for participating in minor hockey.
He was speared by another midget AA player, who was subsequently charged, tried, convicted and sentenced in Edmonton.
Here's a link to The Canadian Press story. Let's hope we never have another assault like this one in kids' recreation.
