Seems like he was a great player, full of _heart._ Hopefully this wont _stop_ anyone else from playing. Do you think they will _arrest_ the guy he collided with? :mamoru: ---

Depending on the reality…this story might come into effect. In HS on the baseball team a kid got hit in the chest with a ground ball and his heart stopped. I guess there is like a micro second that if you get hit it can stop your heart during the beat cycle. Pretty scary stuff. Surprised they didnt have a Defib. ---

> [@Tunerfreak](#): > > i will make sure to laugh when you die I guarantee you it’ll be for something stupid, like choking on a lentil or something. Heck, I laughed when I almost cut the first knuckle of my pointer finger off at work because of how it happened. Not a troll, just a newer member of NYSpeed. I’m on quite a few other forums…which have harsher OT sections :eekdance: ---

This was unbelievably shocking when I heard it announced before the Rangers game last night, really sad to hear. He was the Rangers first round pick in 2007, and at 19? such a shame ☹ ---

> [@Viper966](#): > > wait, why is jagr playin in russia? lots and lots of $ this sucks man. a kid on my team played jr’s in michigan, and at a tournament a kid got hit in the chest with the puck (he was wearing shoulder pads) and it hit at just the wrong beat in his heart, and stopped his heart. The rink was getting sued for not having a defibrillator on hand (supposedly there’s a law necessitating this). this was 3 years ago i think he said, but i remember reading about another one of these last year [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/nhl-prospect-dies-in-game/56389.md?page=2)
