Nick Major is a 16-year-old hockey player who was playing on the winning side of a 7-2 game five months ago. On a transitional break, Major snowed the goalie at the close of the play when the goalie made a save.
One of Major's opponents decided to cave his face in after the whistle as Major did not fight back. But he was given a two-game suspension for fighting and his opponent got four games...
Nick Major's parents are wondering where the justice system is in all of this since no criminal charges have been filed.
Here's Peter Mansbridge...
The HQ always wanted to say that...

The HQ is aware that hockey has its own set of rules and guidelines on the ice- they call it "the code." But the code doesn't quite answer for a snowing- except for the usual amount of pushing and shoving after the whistle.
What happened here is out of control and out of line.
The HQ can't blame Nick Major's parents for wanting out of the sport if the lines of the code are being blurred- even by police and authority figures...
