Tonight, in the game between the Quebec Remparts and Rouyn-Noranda Huskies, Patrice Cormier (you know, the guy who was Captain for Canada at the World Juniors) decided it would be a good idea to launch his elbow directly into a players face.
The victim was Mikael Tam, a 18-year-old defenseman with the Remparts. He hit the ice face first, lost a ton of blood and convulsed on the ice for around two minutes. Initially, it was feared that he suffered a traumatic brain injury, but newer reports say that it's just a severe concussion.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Here's the video if anyone's interested. But if you have doubts about seeing this, then don't watch it. There's no sound, so don't try to adjust your speakers.
