What was the sole on-ice fatality? I remember a girl in the stands getting killed not too many years ago (Columbus Blue Jackets game?) after being hit by a puck, but that's probably not considered on-ice.

Bill Masterson?

(technically he didn't expire while right on the ice, but died from his injuries. RIP)
 
I still have my #44 Zednik jersey for when he was a rookie with the Capitals. Get well Zed.

BTW, about neck guards... someone in Sweden did die from this type of thing and now all their players are required to wear neck guards. In the NHL, I'm sure it will remain an optional thing. This happened 2 or 3 times in 20+ years. It's a freak accident. You can get hit by a bus walking down the street too...
