This article was brought to my attention and it comes from one of the busier Plaintiff lawyer firms in our region.
I can see this becoming a thing when players get seriously injured and/or disabled from a dangerous hit. Even a concussion could bring a lawsuit. Of course every player takes on a certain expectation of risk when you enter into a hockey game where checking is permitted. Even incidental contact happens in Rec hockey where two people run into each other ... not intentionally ... and somebody gets hurt.
