As an ex hockey player myself i believe he should be banned from playing hockey ever again. If someone can't control there actions when on the ice i don't believe they should be in the sport. i played since i was 9 till i was 19 and i was able to control myself although i did get in fights they were always self defense and i did get called for hitting from behind once or twice it was only cause the kid turned at the last moment and it was his fault but anyway what he did is totaly unexcusable and he should be held responcible to help prevent such incedents in the future hockey has too much crap that goes on now adays with holding and all the game needs to be opened back up like it was in the old days with bobby oar where hockey was more about skills than who can be the bigger and cheeper jerk out there without getting caught breaking the rules
