I just thought I'd share a pretty gross story with you

I didn't witness this, only heard it from the other members of my hockey team.

At our last hockey game, our team won the division playoffs in overtime and will be heading to our leagues first North American Championship tournament in 2009.

After the game was done and all the guys were getting undressed, a guy from the other team was leaving the rink (after getting changed) and decided to kick the glass door that leads out of the rink.

He ended up putting his whole leg through the glass and the glass cut a 2" wide chunk of his muscle off the side of his leg from the knee down to the ankle and went right to the bone.

One of my teammates is training to be a paramedic and helped him as best he could and called 911, but it looks like this guy will never play hockey again.

The moral of the story: Don't kick glass doors.

Avoidable, non-sports career-/life-ending injuries are Darwin's way of saying "Hey".

Almost as bad as tearing your ACL while wrassling with your manager because you went on a temper tantrum with a big mouth ump

You mean ankle up to the knee, surely? Or was he dim enough to do the bulk of the damage on the retraction?

Do you reckon he did it out of anger or bitterness with the intent of destruction? Wall punchers 'n' such are always a laugh because they have allowed emotion to overtake reason and thus hurt themselves further. But intending to vandalize wi'out necessarily hurting oneself is diff'rent. Self pwnage either way, in this case.

Glass is pretty dangerous stuff. It's not like the movies where it just shatters harmlessly...

Well as bad as the injury was, and I sincerely hope he recovers okay, he was being a dipshit and got some bad consequences out of it. He shouldn't have thrown a fit and kicked the damn door.
