R.I.P Don, although i have never heard of you before this incident. my sister was in a familiar situation, she fainted at work and smashed the back of hear head cracking a bone in her skull. she immediately went into shock. luckily she survived after being in the hospital for 2 weeks. I am very sorry to hear that you have past away and i hope that one day i can make it as far as you did in hockey.

My boy Tyler Zeer, died in Sept. 2004 after a direct helmet to helmet football practice drill caused an artery to erupt in his brain. He died at 16 after being on life support for 5 days. He complained to me about the fit of his helmet the night before. There was a fatality inquirey held in Calgary, in short nothing was really determined on why this happened. (Review is online) Another boy, 15, died this past summer playing lacrosse in Ontario, after head to head contact during a game in a similar way. What I have learned is between the ages of 14 -22 your brain is the biggest it will be in your life, there is little room for bleeding, swelling and trauma. Tyler had no room for the bleed, the pressure caused his brain to basically crush his brain stem. All sports should make high priorities about limiting all/any head trauma situations, including fighting, to save lives. Coaches, trainers and parents need to instill this into their kids, scare them with it if neccessary, most kids feel they are invincible, until it happens close to home. My heartfelt condolences to Don’s family. Debbie Dollimount
