An ice hockey official was hospitalised after a pane of glass smashed over his head during the NHL clash between Boston Bruins and Carolina Hurricanes. Timeout coordinator Joe Foley was sat in the penalty box during the game play-off series game at the TD Garden Arena.
During the clash, the Bruins right winger David Pastrňák found the net to give the team a 3-1 lead, sending the home fans crazy in the Boston arena. The chaotic celebrations however led to a serious incident courtside, as banging from the supporters saw a pane of glass give way.
The said pane happened to be above the head of Foley, and it crashed over the head of the timeout coordinator, leaving the surrounding fans in shock.
