Disturbing Event at Junior Hockey Game

Last week, a gruesome event occurred during a Junior C hockey game in Edmonton, when a young player suffered a serious injury.

Richie Compo, a player for the Junior Braves, was stepped on the neck by an opposing player, resulting in a severe cut.

"I was on the ice. He stepped on my head."

"I checked my neck, and my hand; there was blood. So I ripped off my helmet."

"I looked him dead in the eyes and said, 'Don't let me die. Please don't let me die. I don't want to die.'"

"There was no pain; it was just 'I'm dead.' That's all I could think: 'I'm dead.'" - Richard Compo, CTV News

Officials declared that the action seemed deliberate. Luckily, the skate narrowly missed Compo's jugular vein, but he still needed multiple stitches.

Parents Gets the Police Involved Against the Offending Player

In the aftermath of the incident, the player responsible, Nate Plaunt, was handed a mere three-game suspension.

Richie's parents have voiced their concern, stating that the penalty is inadequate.

"If this were to happen off the ice and he wasn't a hockey player, you'd be charged. Mistake, impulsive action, it doesn't matter. That impulsive decision could have taken my son's life."

"There are consequences for actions; they're not little boys. They're, you know, 18 to 21. They know right from wrong." - Peggy McMillan, CTV News

The police are now looking into the matter.

Further updates will be provided.
