LNAH player takes skate blade to face

Post by JS© »

If you are a bit squeemish and/or don't like to see gruesome injuries be warned: a photo of a gruesome injury is coming below (pictured in both links).

In a game in Quebec's Ligue Nord-Americaine de Hockey (LNAH), a low-level professional league, one of the most gruesome accidents you will see happened. Captain for the Thetford Mines Isothermic team (yes, that's their name), Sebastien Courcelles, was cut by a skate blade. On his face.

The result was horrifying, which you could clearly decipher if you only saw the teammate that helped Courcelles off the ice.

A disturbing scene occurred in the middle of commitment when the captain Isothermic Sebastien Courcelles, was deeply cut on the left cheek by a skate. Bleeding profusely, Courcelles quickly left the ice surface.

According to information obtained, the striker Isothermic was taken to hospital and his condition was stable. It was unclear, however, whether sufficient stitches to close the wound or if surgery would be necessary.

I looked while eating some soup. That was a bad idea. And I have no problem looking at stuff like that.

I think we should just dull them. Or make them soft... like a sponge.

there's a front view of Courcelles coming off the ice on Deadspin along with a shot of him post-surgery.

If the side shot didn't make you a little sick, this one will.
