No it has never happened, but a goalie was once hit in the neck with a players skate cutting his artery and almost making him die. A fan from the stands rushed down to help and lost almost 1 qt. of blood. As this occured the blood pressure slowed down causing his heart to beat very fast in order to recover for the blood being lost. It is now required in the NHL for a goalie to have a neck guard(Part that hangs over goalies mask. See the difference!(The 1st mask is a modern day goalie mask! By the way I am an Avalanche fan!
