A kid in my town is getting sued for this..

[Corey_Ellis]

Tucker Hannon of Duxbury skated over the blue line, received a backhanded pass with his stick and slapped the puck toward Scituate’s goaltender. As the shot sailed wide of the net, Scituate’s Alex Way charged in from the right and sent Hannon to the ice with a hard check.

The hit didn’t land Way in the penalty box, but it will land him in court Friday. That’s because Hannon’s parents are seeking an assault and battery charge against the Scituate High School senior.

Hannon, 18, suffered a severe concussion on the play, causing him to miss the rest of the hockey season and five weeks of school. The hit occurred Jan. 7 during a game at The Bog Ice Arena in Kingston. “If this (check) was off the rink, on a public way, that is gross, negligent assault and battery,” said Jay Mullen, the attorney representing Thomas and Sheila Hannon, Tucker’s parents.

The lawyer clearly doesn't understand that people get hit in Hockey.

What a stupid ****ing argument.

[INJECTION]

brutal,


btw im from Bourne.

[NVious]

Society is becoming pathetic, if these *******s don't wanna get hit stay at home. I'm so ****ing sick and tired of this pussy ass *******ry ffs pretty soon we'll be suing each other over negs.

[iliekthepuss]

lulz.
brb suing someone after getting decked in a football game.

EDIT: damn that was a solid hit too. If anything the kid should be getting rewarded for that.

[OliBrah]

Been playing Ice Hockey all my life, it's an extremely physical sport, it's not for pussies

[SBRakk]

this world is too full of estrogen

[DiabeticLifter]

Corey hell be fine, the dude shouldnt have been watching his shot like an idiot

[MarauderBB]

People might get hit in hockey, but that wasn't an ordinary check. The guy accelerated to nail the other guy in the face. This guy would be fined and suspended in any major league.

There was nothing sportsmanlike about that hit.

Head on a swivel.


His parents are grooming a beta.

brb becoming a MMA fighter. brb when I lose will sue because if that was out of the ring on a public way, that would be assault and battery.

[C-Winger]

From the video, it looks like the guy was celebrating after the hit.

[shillie]

So now every time someone gets injured in High School or College football we can sue whoever hurt them? People get hurt in sports, if you're to pussy for it don't play lol.

[Striker13]

That was a clean hit, that little pussy ******* should keep his head up

[Jaroctor]

Lol brb I could have sued probably 20 people by now. Brb suing a guy for hitting me in the head with a slapshot...

"if he hit me in the head with a puck off the rink, it would be gross, negligent assault and battery"

[Superduy]

Still a dick move to hit him after he already shot the puck.

Does not give them the right to sue. They should know the potential hazards of the sport.

Dick move =/= getting sued.

The hit didn't even get a penalty in the game.

[reyes12]

pussification at it's best

No, but apparently the law does.

[NVious]

That was very offensive would be gross, negligent assault and battery outside of the misc.......sued!

[AcidBarrel]

That's a cross check. Most leagues here in canada just suspend players. No one gets charged, that's why you WEAR EQUIPMENT!

[Superduy]

Ya don't agree with the sueing part though, the guy chose to play and should be able to take a clean hit( dont know if it was a headshot or not).

[reyes12]

That was very offensive would be gross, negligent assault and battery outside of the misc.......sued!

looooooooooooool

this.

brb in jail for playing a sport and hurting someone.

[true_miscer]

If this (post) was off the misc, on a public way, that is gross, negligent posting.

[harpy20]

Isn't there contracts you have to sign so you can't sue for **** like this?

I know there were a lot of dirty hits in highschool rugby and football and no one ever sued. Fellow players just played aggressive towards that player.

[grktos791]

lol this kid is never gonna have another normal day in his life

[SBRakk]

is there any kind of a waiver you sign before the season starts?

[OminousD27]

If the kid ended up brain dead would he then end up with the right the sue? On one hand hes fine now, sht happens and thats the game. Its not all puppies and unicorns. But when watching the video the guy deliberately hits the guy for no reason which is uncalled for.

Right, unless theres a death involved, like what happened here a few years back in rugby. How ever, if this sticks. Looks like the NHL players better get ready to fork all of theirs up. I mean look at the Chara incident last year during the playoffs. Oops... they tried to charge him. but wasn't charged. Not even once.
