I think the exposure of this accident also played in a factor of the prosecution and sentencing, because it is about hockey. If it is say a bus full of foreign tourists who got ran over we probably won't even be talking about it after the first week.
People talk about the impact to the families of the players, but how about the impact to the family of the driver? I am OK with the sentence to the driver, but if he will be deported when he gets out, what does it achieve? He committed a crime, but he is not a criminal. He just made a irreversible mistake.
