Best Answer

Since many players can shoot the puck at 100 MPH or more, serious injuries can result. Besides the obvious bruises, a slapshot has often caused broken toes/feet, leg injuries, arm injuries, etc. However, the most frightening is when a player gets hit in the face/head area. Severely broken facial bones, eye injuries, concussions etc, have occurred.Although it has never happened, a severe head injury caused by a flying puck can result in death.
