A real tragedy. I've been playing hockey for 10 years now, and not once have i even considered not wearing a helmet, even in the warm up, his legacy still lives on.
You have to feel for the person that hit him, like they said, it wasn't a dirty hit, but just an inevitability of hockey at the time.
A real tragedy to hit the game, and fully justified he should have a trophy in his honour
R.I.P. Bill Mastermon, lost your life, but saved hundreds more, may you never be forgotten. <3

Disregard my first comment - I failed to notice the "died as a result of an on ice injury". I thought they meant died ON the ice from an injury. My bad.

@socomowner I stand corrected. I failed to notice the "died as a result of an on ice injury".
My bad.

@raran44 He died 2 days after this hit, so he did not die on the ice

Technically, Bill Masterton is the only player ever to die on the ice DURING the game. There is some speculation that he is the second alongside Howie Morenz, but Morenz suffered a heart attack in the hospital while recovering from his broken leg.

@valdes1978 How? Did you listen they didnt have freakin helmets back then!
-
Classy thing for Bill's son to say to Harris

This will happen again. It's just a matter of time. It's insane that people argue it was not dirty or it was a good body check.

@k9wrestling It wasn't until 1979-80 that all new players HAD to wear helmets.
