Pro Player Shamefully Taunts Crowd After Knocking Opposing Player Unconscious
Hockey is by nature an aggressive sport. High-speed and hard-hitting, injuries happen. When an injury happens on the ice, there is generally immediate compassion. Nobody ever wants to see a fellow player hurt due to their actions.
Unfortunately, some players are different, such as Hunter Johannes of the Lindenwood Lions. In a game against the ASU Sun Devils, Johannes knocked player Lukas Sillinger unconscious after a hard hit to the head.
Lukas is the older brother of Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cole Sillinger, and son of NHL journeyman Mike Sillinger.
After the injury, Johannes taunted the crowd:
#21 taunts the crowd after a hard hit of #asu star player #lucassillinger which knocked him unconscious when his head hit the ice #hockeyhits #collegehockey
Sillinger managed to get off the ice without a stretcher, but he looked very uneasy.
Johannes should be seriously ashamed of these actions, as this isn't the type of behaviour any hockey player should have.
