Henderson says Wideman "violently struck (him) from behind, propelling him down to the ice" He also refers to it as an "attack". #nhl

For what it's worth, I have a good friend that knows Henderson well. He has been telling you for sometime that this was coming. I didn't really believe him, guess I was wrong.
He also told me Henderson wasn't exactly beloved amongst his officiating brethren. That's why I questioned the validity of the "Wideman affect"

Wideman didn't even wait for Wideman's season to end.

In court docs, Henderson alleges he “has suffered a limitation of activities and loss of enjoyment of life…” The Flames are also defendants.

These are injuries claimed by referee Don Henderson in lawsuit (as well as head injury and concussion) #nhl

Henderson says in addition to medication and treatment he's required psychological counselling. #NHL

I had heard rumblings about something like this being worked on but I'm shocked at the dollar value.

It's obligatory. Statements of claim usually ask for the moon.
Henderson's damages are capped at ~$400k for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment because that's the law in Canada. And amounts like that are for people who are paralyzed or brain damaged.
Then he gets whatever he can prove in lost salary and cost of future care.
Pretty low chance Wideman wants to fight this out in Court and we'll never know, but I'd be absolutely shocked if he got more than 1.5M to 2M at the end of the day.

Are the Flames named in the lawsuit considering he was "working" when it happened?
I doubt even Wideman has $10 million lying around.

How soon till Wideman sues the Flames and NHL for letting him back to play that night after taking shot to the head.
Pre Henderson incident.

Considering what a person I know had to go through for years to get compensation for car accident injuries, I guess I'm not surprised at reactions like this to the list.

Well, he punched him in the back and ended his career. That's quite a few lunches.
