Message: [QUOTE="August_West, post: 4728201, member: 1047"] I had nothing but great coaches . The best was in Midget A team hockey. I got a gross misconduct in a game . we played Eddie shore old time hockey, all I did was what was accepted at the time, I was a goalie and this 6 foot 3 250 lb lummox ( midgets is 14 and 15 year olds , he was huge and sucked but bullied his way through everything) was told by their coach to screen me deep, and he kept backing me in the crease where I was pegged against the crossbar . So I did what Eddie Giacomin in used to do, every time he tried to back me down I slashed him in the back of the calves, where the shin guards didn’t cover, to move him out… the refs let this dance go for a period and a half. That's hockey. Whelp I got bold and really whacked him to bait him and he was pissed and turned around and cross checked me into crossbar ( I was maybe 5’7” 155 at the time) and got in my face. Luckily crossbar was there and held me up. And I cross checked back. To the chest. That was all I could reach. In a happenstance he was lifting his arms to block my cross check and lifted them so he lifted my cross check and went right under his helmet to the chin. He was split wide open. Never saw so much blood, or at least the ice made it seem that way. Medics on the ice. I got a gross MIsconduct. 2nd of the season . Automatic season expulsion ( first was 30 days) . My coach called a hearing with AHAUS and I was reinstated. Back in time for playoffs. I love that man. Btw that goon played for suffield I still despise that town. [/QUOTE]
