Years ago, I was Steve Buffery's editor at a newspaper near Toronto. He's now a sports columnist with the Toronto Sun and weighs in with a column about the latest dustup about hockey hits and violence.
Not sure I entirely agree with him, but then again Steve prefers boxing and raised a daughter, not a minor hockey-playing son.
As a companion piece, I recommend Don Cherry's now iconic rant from last Saturday's Hockey Night in Canada Coach's Corner segment.
From a minor hockey perspective, I wonder if the Zdeno Chara hit is a lesson to organizers about what can happen when players of dramatically different body sizes share the ice. Just sayin'. You think maybe it's dangerous if players with size advantage don't have exceptional sportsmanship?
