Way more serious injuries come from shots than fighting has ever produced. Time to outlaw composite sticks. :P

Somewhere Nick Kypreos unintelligibly mumbled something about his skull not being broken, but the contents inside being damaged beyond repair.
On a very serious note, reference Don Sanderson for some real context into what can happen in fights when the helmets come off. It doesn't have to be a punch. Head hitting the ice is likely the most dangerous aspect of a fight.
