You're right, his name was Donald Sanderson, he played for the Whitby Dunlops, it was tragic that he died, but as a former fighter in various leagues, you know the risks when you drop the gloves and remove your helmet to fight, or have your helmet removed by your opponent. I had my head whacked off the ice before, hurt like a bastard, got a little concussion from it, but otherwise I was fine, I knew it could happen again, yet I kept right on fighting and taking off my own helmet. They tried to change the rules so we couldn't take off our own helmets, all we did was take each others helmets off before the start of the fight, then we'd back up and square off and had at it.
