I was asked to forward this to the list by the former kap@apollo
(Steve Kapetanakis), who is in the process of getting back onto the
list from his new account at Northeastern. Kap is from Nashua, NH
which is right next to Manchester (I'm from Salem, NH, about 20 min.
east of both towns), so this hit all the papers around here. I
didn't know what to say when I heard it.

I know this isn't directly related to College Hockey, but...
Last Saturday night, while most of us were watching the Northern
Michigan/Boston Univ. game there was another championship game
being played. In Manchester, NH the Youth Hockey Bantam League
championship game was played. In that game, 15-year-old Kevin
Charbonneau was fatally injured as he slid into a slapshot
fired from just 5 feet away. An autopsy showed that the puck
bruised Charbonneau's heart, caused it to beat irregularly and
set off a heart attack. The puck struck him directly in the
heart. When the coaches got to him on the ice, he was concious
and was complaining that he couldn't catch his breath.
Charbonneau was pronounced DOA at Manchester's Catholic Medical
Center.
Hearing something like this just made me stop and realize how
quickly our lives can change.
