A nasty injury indeed, and that kid was extremely lucky! But as he says, it costs $2 to fit a plug to the end of the stick, so there really should be no excuses! It actually makes me wonder whether Coaches and Officials at any level in the UK actually check players graphite sticks for the necessary plug? Can anybody involved as a Coach or Stripey enlighten us please?

Reminds me of an accident I had when I crashed my Mountain bike and landed on the end of the bars (Yes I know this has nothing to do with Hockey) Had it not been for "bar ends" I may not be here now.
The moral of the story - if it has a hole plug it!

Ref would just warn you to put some tape on it or something but it's very rare to see it as it's always in the players hand.

Why the hell would you ever not have a butt end in your stick? Thats just ridiculous because its long enough as it is? i don't have a butt end in my stick, but it does have one of those plastic little caps on it tbh you wouldn't even need to plug the hole you just have to make sure you have a fair bit of tape round the but it i guess the stick that causes it probably had no or little tape on the handle of the stick

Its good you have at least got a plug though on a serious note, I was told from age 10 you allow for a butt end, cut your stick down another 2 inches and put one in, its not going to affect your game is it
