The clip is actually from 1989 and a player called Malarchak or something.

Zednick was an outfield player and there are vids of that on youtube too.

Outfield player

Well I don't know what they call them, a winger? A runner person, the man who shoots at goal?

Incdently, Malarchak, the guy in Gorillas vid, returned to pratcise only 4 days laters after having 300 stitches!

Only two weeks after the incident he was back playing again!

A swedish player Bengt Akerblom died of the same injury in 1995 though

They are either called a winger or a forward...get it right!

And for everyone's information they DO have neck protectors only players usually don't wear them as it's a freak accident to get cut in the neck with a skate.
