KABAROV 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Hey what was your stupidest off ice injury that kept you away from hockey??Mine happened just this past friday. Got drunk and punched a door frame. Broke my 5th metacarpal in my right hand. Half cast for 4 to 6 weeks. Hopefully heals up to be fully functional. In the mean time, i have a constant reminder of one evening of stupid behavior. To top it off my girlfriend now refers to me as gimpy.So lets hear your stupidest/craziest off-ice injury story! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LkptTiger 1 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 I've accumulated most of my off-ice injuries through other sports - namely baseball; most not serious enough to keep me off the ice for an extended period of time (if at all). Fractured ankle and broken hand are probably pretty high on the list. My worst off-ice injury was probably my sophomore year when a guy got his feet up a bit high sliding into second and put his spikes into my leg just above my kneecap. Wound-up ripping me open pretty good - split my skin WIDE open and cut me down into the muscle. I could actually see my quadriceps. It was pretty fucking cool (I made a pretty good scoop/tag on a ball that our catcher left a bit short - so at least I can say it wasn't in vain)...but it was also the manifestation of knee problems that have plagued me in the years since it's happened. I'll see if I can find any of the Polaroids that the nurses took at the hospital.The most ridiculous one was probably when my brother accidentally slammed my hand in a car door. Wound-up playing (but not particularly well) in a tournament that weekend with a broken thumb with a fingernail that was about ready to fall off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Race4LastPlace 31 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 JV football game in highschool, sophomore year. Played defensive end, o-line, but i had kicked a lot freshman year. Kicker couldnt make it so i was doing the kickoffs/punts in the game.Pre-game warm ups, just rained, field was muddy.Warming up on kickoffs- got lift off my plant foot after a kick. Came down and slipped, put my right arm back to break my fall, literally. Ulna & radius both snapped turning arm up 90* angle (didnt break through skin) and shattered wrist. Couple surgeries, pins, plates, screws. Mobility never the same.Spent the rest of the season sidelined (but used my sling to hold hotdogs during the game :D!)
