There might have been an incident like this that very few know about/remember because the players involved weren't a star and a player infamous for his hits. If some fourth liners career has ended for this, nobody misses him and thus remembers the injury.
Btw, the very existence of kevlar hockey socks is IMO a strong indication that these injuries are far from one in a million. I believe Nike has socks that have kevlar only on that area.
