Yep. Same with American football uniforms evolving from this

to the modern design with space age padding and protection throughout the uniform and helmet, it takes time and unfortunate tragedies like this to shake up the attitudes of everybody involved to the point where they actually want to innovate and make things safer as a result.

As tragic as this poor guys passing is, and my condolences to his family and friends since this has got to be weighing heavily on them, he wont have died in vain as his demise will ultimately influence changes to help ensure such a preventable accident doesnt happen again.
Fucking crazy that more spectators in the stands have died in nhl games than nhl players in any era in history.

It's why there are huge nets to catch the pucks, now. Someone, a little girl if I recall, got one right one the head as it rocketed into the seats. It killed her, and the response was immediate. Before the season was hardly a week older, there were now nets above the glass.
