Yeah, not a defender, and I think she was evaluating it in the context of men's hockey. Which was not what I was interested in.

Because if Aho still gets hit to the head doing what he did, and I want an expert opinion on that, then one must surely consider it unavoidable.

It would be nice to have a way to make these sorts of injuries less severe/frequent without ripping the soul out of the game, but I can't think of how to do that. For instance, if you were permitted to grab a guy when delivering a big hit to prevent him from hitting the ice / boards, maybe that would prevent injuries, but I don't see how you could allow that.
