Im certain you must have heard of Patrice Cormier & saw the cheap shot he gave to one of Patrick Roy's player last spring.
This guy is from my hometown & was selected as captain for the Canadian team. It was like an honor for folks down here.( Folks could probably already see his name on the welcome to the village sign.) But he really blew it... big time, could have been a hero but ended up a thug. He could have killed that guy (imo)... almost tore his head from his shoulder.
In a game playing for team Canada while going to his bench he broke the nose of a Swedish player that was going on to the ice for a shift with a cheap elbow hit, and was benched for the remainder of that period. Not really the example a captain is supposed to show.
He had a promising future with the New-Jersey Devils but after that stupid hit, they traded him to Atlanta & Im not so sure he will ever play in the NHL ? If he does I sure do hope he will have learn something from all of this.
