Won't matter if you can prove negligence. But I am not a lawyer.
I'm not a lawyer either, but it's my understanding those disclaimers/waivers on the back of your ticket mean nothing in the event of proven negligence.
Maybe I'm wrong, and correct me if I am, but I am pretty sure that on the back of the ticket, there is some fine print there about this that probably covers the NHL and Canucks organization. Something about incurring at your own risk, I think?
At least at the Saddledome, Beasley always warns about the dangers of flying pucks before puck drop as well.
They say to watch for pucks on the back of tickets
they have in arena announcements to watch for pucks as well
I'd love it if they could actually do this. Have the puck playable off any surface except for the players' benches. Could make for some interesting plays.
Serious injuries to his "head, neck, back and shoulders", eh?
Dude is really trying to puff that lawsuit up.
This is a common injury for canuck fans although he thinks it is from the puck, the real problem is from hanging his head in shame and or disappointment over the years

I'm sure this is just an attempt to gain a settlement and nothing more. How would anyone prove that the organization is at fault for someone not paying attention during game play? Maybe he should sue the player that shot the puck?

just speculating... but maybe it's time buddy put down his cell phone and paid attention to the game??
This!!
I was sitting next to a guy once who was interested in everything BUT the game. The Canucks (at the Dome) were on the PK, Raymond took a slap shot to dump the puck along the boards but it went over the glass and into the crowd. I saw it coming and ducked and it hit buddy next to me behind the ear. Split him open pretty good. I picked up the puck while he was playing fish out of water
He managed to come back right at the end of the game. LOL worst bandage job I've ever seen. He eventually asked me if I saw where the puck went, I gave it to him, I felt he earned it. Plus, it would be a good reminder anytime he thought about going to another game.

The answer to that is actually pretty complicated, and depends on the facts. But what you have suggested here is absolutely not correct.
