In midget hockey, I got tripped up on a full speed breakaway. Hit the end boards head on and literally bounced back 3 feet. Coaches ran on the ice before the play was whistled. They took me to the bench and on the way I was tapping my stick, for myself..... They asked me questions on the bench which I answered correctly. They sent me out for another shift, I rocked a guy, had a great scoring chance. Came off and went back out for another shift. When I came back to the bench, I started asking strange questions like where we were, what the score was (I was starring at the score clock). They took me to the room, helped me get undressed, I went to the shower on my own and turned on the hot only. The game ended and players came in to find me standing there dazed in the scalding hot water. They took me to the hospital and checked me out, I was full on concussed. With the doctors looking in my eyes with a flashlight, about an hour after the initial hit, that was the first thing I recalled since the breakaway.

It may appear wideman was acting on his own, but I a have no doubt he wasn't in control of himself. Just from my own experience, when my line mates told me of all these events I just explained after the crash into the boards, I didn't believe it. A hockey mom was taping the game and they gave me the footage, I had chills watching myself out there. It wasn't me controlling myself, I'll never forget that feeling. After the game On the drive home, I vommit for the whole 2 hour drive, it was like the worse hangover I ever had times 10 and lasted for 3 weeks straight. It had to have been 3 years before I was completely symptom free.

Did wideman do this purposely, not a chance.

That's a great post. Your points totally make sense.
