CTV News Vancouver reported Thursday that the Canucks are being taken to court by a fan, Wayne Chi, who was struck by a puck two years ago during a game at Rogers Arena against the Anaheim Ducks on April 7, 2014. According to CTV, Chi suffered “serious injuries to his forehead, neck and back, as well as headaches, nausea and dizziness,” and he’s still battling symptoms from the injury to this day.
“He wants some kind of compensation for the fact that he did suffer an injury,” Chi’s lawyer, Manjot Hallen, told CTV. ”When you go to a hockey game, there should be an expectation that you’re not going to suffer an injury.”
The lawsuit states Chi has suffered permanent disability, loss of earning and “loss of enjoyment of life,” and Manjot said Chi wants “some form of acknowledgement that this incident occurred.”
In the Canucks’ ticket holder agreement, which appears online and on the back of tickets, fans are warned that the ticket holder “voluntarily assumes all rick and danger of personal injury and all hazards arising from or related in any way to attendance at the event.” There’s also a capitalized warning, which also appears on all tickets, that states pucks entering the seating area can cause injury and ticket holders are to be alert.
| As a goalie, I get hit with 100 pucks every time I hit the ice. A few of them squeak through the gear, and have left nasty bruises.
But what kind of pussy is this guy?
2 years later, and he is complaining about head, back and neck injuries? Where did the puck hit him? |
