Hockey player chokes goalie unconscious during game in a terrifying
In a scary scene during a junior hockey game, a player choked a goalie unconscious during a line brawl, in a move that should never appear on the ice.
Fighting in hockey is one thing, players usually agree to drop the gloves and it ends when the fight goes down to the ice. While there is debate on whether that should be removed form the game is one thing, however, what happened during a game in the Pacific Junior Hockey League (PJHL) is another.
Player Chokes Goalie Out Using UFC Move That Should Never Appear On the Ice
During a line brawl that was breaking out after the whistle, one of the players from the Richmond Sockeyes decided to put the goaltender from the North Vancouver Wolf Pack into a chokehold. Not only did he do that, but he also held it long enough to knock the goaltender out unconscious.
The Vancouver Wolfpack released a statement about their goaltender after the game, stating that he is recovering at home and is day to day with his injuries.
Paul is recovering at home, and his injury status is day-to-day.
The Wolf Pack would like to thank all the people in the PIHL and the hockey community who have reached out to the team with their support and have checked on Evan after this horrible incident.
Player Suspended Indefinitely For Chokehold Move
The player in question who put the goaltender in a chokehold has officially been suspended indefinitely from the PJHL, in order to do a proper investigation of what occurred on the ice.
Clearly, there is no room for this type of violence in hockey, and this was a step way over the line.
