Edit View History Bookmarks Wind8W Hel < > csoflaw.instructure.com (0) Law School Portal Signon Denville was the star center for the Whippanong Wildcats, a contending team in the Continental Hockey Association ("CHA"). In their final game of the season, the Wildcats needed a victory to get into the playoffs. The game was a seesaw battle, with the Wildcats down by a goal in the final seconds. Just before time expired, Denville had an open shot on the opposition's goal but he shot it wide and the horn sounded, ending the game. As the puck bounced back to him off the boards, he shot it in anger into the stands. Parsip, who was sitting in the stands, had been looking the other way and turned back toward the rink just in time to be struck in the face by the puck. He suffered a broken nose and a severe gash under his eye. After the game, the CHA commissioner fined Denville for violating league rules by directing the puck out of the playing area.

Yes, if Denville acted recklessly in shooting the puck into the stands. e =@w MacBook 7 5 6 8 9
