B.C. hockey officials saying little after fight leaves goalie lying motionless on ice (www.cbc.ca)

Evan Paul was playing his second game in net for the North Vancouver Wolf Pack when a fight erupted in the third period of his team's Jan. 25 game against the Richmond Sockeyes at Minoru Arena.

Video of the fight shows Richmond defenceman Eithan Grishin over top of Paul with his arms around the goaltender for close to 20 seconds. When Grishin lets go, Paul slumps to the ice.

Grishin, 19, was (previously) suspended 16 games for incidents earlier this season, according to the PJHL website.

On Nov. 16, he received a 13-game suspension — five games for harassment of an official, three games as supplemental discipline, two games after receiving a game misconduct for being the third man in a fight, and three games as supplemental discipline for being a repeat offender.

Asshat suspended for 16 games needs to get bounced out entirely.

Yeah, there's almost certainly a lawsuit coming, if BC hockey's lawyers are saying anything besides "keep your mouth shut for the next while" I'd be stunned.

Why shit like this doesn't instantly result in criminal assault charges is beyond my comprehension.

Esp since he had the goalie in a hold straight out of the UFC.

Hope he gets the boot from hockey altogether. He has no right to be playing any contact sport.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Video of the fight shows Richmond defenceman Eithan Grishin over top of Paul with his arms around the goaltender for close to 20 seconds.

A game summary states the defenceman received a match penalty for a blow to the head.

In a statement issued Sunday, the North Vancouver Wolf Pack said Paul had suffered a "severe injury" and was recovering at home.

CBC News reached out to PJHL commissioner Trevor Alto but has not heard back.

The Richmond Sockeyes declined comment, calling it a "league matter" and citing a hearing that will be held "soon."

The PJHL is a Tier 2 Junior A league consisting of teams in the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley and the Sunshine Coast.

The original article contains 275 words, the summary contains 114 words. Saved 59%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
