Game 6 of the weekend brought my son's team back to league play against the AA London Knights in what was, unfortunately, the most physical game of the season so far.
One player from our team hobbled off with a knee injury in the first period. Another wisely opted not to play the third after experiencing blurry vision.
But of greatest concern was a boy from the Junior Knights team who encountered a major health problem while sitting on the bench. After getting attention on the bench, paramedics were called to take him to hospital. We all hope he's OK.
As a gesture, concerned boys from both teams banged their sticks on the ice as the stretcher left the rink.
Then they resumed play with a vigour that was at times excessive.
In the end, it turned out to be a one-goal loss in what turned out to be a rare curfewed game in the league. Our team was on a power play with the goalie pulled when the ice time hour glass expired.
