Now that I have your attention with my interesting title! This is not exactly wedding related, but it has rocked my world, since the victim in this video is a very good friend, former team mate of my fiance, and is supposed to attend our wedding...
Our dear friend Mikael (affectionately referred to as Tiger by us, because of his ethnic background) was hit by Patrice Cormier on open ice, and then went into convulsions. The video is graphic, and I would like to warn you that if you are sensitive to this type of thing you should not watch the video.

As well, people are being asked to leave well wishes for Mikael Tam on his team's official website. If you feel inspired, please PM me for the website or google it.
This is the kind of bullsh*t in hockey that has to stop. Our friend could have very easily died yesterday, all because someone was being a vicious idiot...
He is in stable condition as of late in the hospital, suffering from brain trauma (more than just a concussion), and most of his teeth are missing. We are hoping for a speedy recovery, with no lasting repercussions.
Please, say a prayer for our dear friend tonight... he sure needs it.
