: But suckerpunches exactly like that occur all the time in the NHL. However, this particular time, the guy who got hit happened to go down face-first and bust his neck.
I watch a lot of hockey and I have to say that I haven't seen that before. I've seen punches with gloves on in the midsts of group lets-grab-each-other-and-wait-to-get-broken-up fights, but they're more like little jabs where the intention is to just rub the glove in the other players face a little. I have never seen someone wind up and full-out punch someone without any warning before. You definately don't see it every day.
