Henry Boucha Henry came out of the Minnesota hockey system with a flash! He was colourful in that he wore a headband over his long dark hair to accentuate his Ojibwa Nation heritage. Combined with his natural good looks and tremendous hockey skills, Henry was a star in the making. Henry was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1971 Entry Draft by the Detroit Red Wings. He debuted with the Wings at the tender age of 19 in the 1971/72 season when he played 7 games and scored 5 points. He then spent the rest of the season playing for the U.S. Olympic Team which won a silver medal in Sapporo, Japan. In his rookie season of 1972/72, Henry electrified the Detroit crowds with his exciting stickhandling and tall, powerful build. He scored 29 points that season followed by 31 points the next. For the 1974/75 season, Henry was traded “home” to the Minnesota North Stars. However, Henry’s season came to a screeching halt on January 4, 1975. After a serving a 5 minute fighting major for a scrap with Dave Forbes of the Boston Bruins, Henry and Forbes came together on the ice whereupon Forbes hit Henry with a vicious butt-end in the eye, fracturing Henry’s eye socket. His career was never the same afterwards. In 1975/76, Henry spent time with the Minnesota Fighting Saints of World Hockey Association and then came back to play in the NHL briefly with the Kansas City Scouts and the Colorado Rockies. But he couldn’t overcome his eye injury. In 1977, he retired from the NHL at the age of 24 with his tremendous promise unfulfilled. He is a member of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame. Today, Henry is very active in affairs of the Ojibwa Nation and for all First Nations peoples across Canada and the United States. He is well versed and well spoken about Native issues. And he is a great motivational speaker with children and youth, encouraging them to pursue their dreams and to not let their circumstances limit their hopes. He came from poverty and oppression and now gives back in many forms to people who are in similar situations to what Henry has conquered personally. Sports Celebrity Marketing S.C.M.

Sports Violence: A Matter of Societal Concern* I. Introduction In a recent National Hockey League (NHL) game between the Boston Bruins and the New York Rangers, a fight broke out among the rival players. Without provocation, a Ranger fan reached over the protective glass and punched a Bruin player. Within a matter of seconds, several Bruin players ascended into the stands to avenge their teammate. With fists and hockey sticks flying, the confrontation between players and spectators continued for more 1 than fifteen minutes. During another NHL game, Henry Boucha, of the Minnesota North Stars, and Dave Forbes, of the Boston Bruins, had been sent to the penalty box for fighting. As Boucha skated towards his team's bench at the expiration of the penalties, he was attacked by Forbes who struck him in the face with the butt end of his hockey stick and pummeled him with his fists after he had dropped to the ice.2 Remedial surgery was required to relieve Boucha's double vision in what NHL President Clarence Campbell termed "one of the most vicious in- ' 3 cidents that he had been called to deal with.

INDIANA LAW REVIEW [Vol
Winning Isn't Everything, It's the Only Thing. Violence in Professional Sports: The Need for Federal Regulation and Criminal Sanctions Daniel R. Karon* Introduction The National Hockey League (NHL) calls it high-sticking, but if Wayne Maki of the St. Louis Blues had acted as he did toward Ted Green of the Boston Bruins anywhere except on the ice, it would have been called battery. During a September 21, 1969 hockey game, Maki struck Green in the face with his hockey stick. As a result of this attack, Green sustained a serious concussion and massive hemorrhaging and underwent two brain operations that were only partially successful. 1 This is merely one example of the many cases of egregious and excessive violence that take place in professional sports arenas. 2 Violence has become the rule and no longer the exception in professional sports. 3 Of course, some degree of violent contact is necessary in sports, but violence to the degree described above far exceeds this necessary level. Acts that are clearly criminal on the streets seem to be licensed if they take place within the context of a professional sporting event. 4 The purpose of this Article is to show that the level of violence currently existing in professional sports is intolerable and must be * B.A., Indiana University-Bloomington; J.D., The Ohio State University Col- lege of Law.

Sports Violence As Criminal Assault: Development of the Doctrine by Canadian Courts
NOTES 'SPORTS VIOLENCE AS CRIMINAL ASSAULT: DEVELOPMENT OF THE DOCTRINE BY CANADIAN COURTS Dramatic and numerous outbreaks of violence among athletes in the past twenty years have drawn public interest and concern in both the United States and Canada.1 The increase in sports violence was of public concern for several reasons; aside from the immediate injuries sustained 1. A recent dramatic incident of sports violence occurred during a November 20, 1986 Na- tional Hockey League (NHL) game between the Boston Bruins and the Montreal Canadiens. Refer- ees ejected eight players and assessed 124 minutes in penalties after a bench-clearing brawl halted play. The brawl spilled over into the corridor behind the Bruins bench, and erupted again on the rampway to the dressing room. N.Y. Times, Nov. 22, 1986, at 16, col. 1. The NHL levied $14,000 in fines against the players. USA Today, Jan. 7, 1987, § C, at 2, col. 3. The president of the Boston City Council reacted to the melee by proposing an ordinance requiring police officers to arrest play- ers who interrupt games with fights. Id. See infra notes 2-3. Notable incidents of sports violence in the United States from earlier years include the 1969 fight between NHL players Ted Green and Wayne Maki, the striking of Dale Hackbart by Charles "Booby" Clark during a 1973 National Football League (NFL) game, a fight between Dave Forbes and Henry Boucha during a 1975 NHL game, and the striking of Rudy Tomjanovich by Kermit Washington during a 1979 National Basketball Association (NBA) game. These incidents stand out because of the prominence of the players involved and the seriousness of their injuries: the Green- Maki fight left Green close to death; Clark's blow caused a neck injury that ended Hackbart's career; Boucha needed twenty-five stitches to close a cut near his eye and surgery to repair a fracture in the floor of the right eye socket; and Tomjanovich suffered nose, jaw, and skull fractures, a brain concus- sion, and leakage of spinal fluid from the brain cavity.
