NHL Broadcaster Forced to Get Stitches After His Head Gets Sliced Open by a Puck
Those who choose to broadcast NHL games from ice level have encountered some difficult situations; they are left unprotected, much like the players on the benches. However, unlike athletes, broadcasters do not dress in full gear.
Last night, the Colorado Avalanche defeated the Ottawa Senators 7-0. Former NHL player turned commentator Jamal Mayers was struck in the head by a puck during the game.
Jamal Mayers needed six stitches, but he quickly returned to broadcasting the game after receiving medical attention�because he sure is hockey tough!
You have to wonder why the NHL doesn't provide glass protection throughout the ice-level broadcaster areas on the ice? Maybe in the future they'll implement something, but hopefully before anything too serious happens.
