Hockey player dies after head hit ice - Sportsnet.ca

Whitby Dunlops defenceman Don Sanderson died Friday morning as a result of a head injury suffered in a fight during a Dec. 12 hockey game in Brantford, Ont. He was 21.

The news of Sanderson's passing was announced on the Dunlops web site. The native of Port Perry, Ont., had been in a coma and on life support for three weeks after undergoing brain surgery before he passed away at around 1 a.m. ET at Hamilton General Hospital.

Sanderson was involved in a fight with Brantford Blast's Corey Fulton during a regular-season game of the senior hockey league when his helmet came off and his head hit the ice as both players fell.

The six-foot-two, 200-pound Sanderson, playing his first year with Whitby, was a York University product.

The way he started hopping up and down there is no doubt in my mind he bit him. NHL tonight gusy said he had to get "medical treatment" for it, so my money is on a confirmed chomp. :biggrin:

I'm sure it happens a lot but it was comical.

OHL will suspend players who remove helmets

The Ontario Hockey League is getting tough on players who remove their helmets during a fight.
The OHL announced a new rule Wednesday that states a player who removes his helmet or undoes his chinstrap during a fight will receive a minimum one-game suspension.
Helmets and player safety has become a prominent issue in hockey after senior league player Don Sanderson died after suffering head trauma sustained by falling in a fight during a game.
"If a player should remove his helmet or undo his chinstrap prior to or during an altercation, such player shall receive a game misconduct in addition to any other penalties assessed and an automatic one (1) game suspension. If a player should remove his helmet or undo his chinstrap prior to entering into an altercation, and his opponent does not remove his helmet, the player removing his helmet shall receive a two minute minor penalty, a game misconduct penalty in addition to any other penalties assessed and an automatic one (1) game suspension," the new rule says.
"If a player should remove an opponent's helmet or undo an opponent's chinstrap prior to or during an altercation, such player shall receive an automatic game misconduct penalty in addition to any other penalties assessed and a one (1) game suspension. If during the course of an altercation a player or player's helmets should become dislodged, the linesmen are to intervene immediately."
