Ice hockey players are protected against most injuries – but a puck in the face is something they all fear.
That was the case for Sheffield Scimitars star Oliver Barron, who suffered a suspected broken jaw in Saturday night’s clash with Telford Tigers.
But it was a better night for new Tigers signing Andre Niec, who scored twice on his debut for the home side.
Watch our exclusive video report to watch how Barron suffered his horrific injury, as well as Niec’s two-goal debut.
