	This brought back a terrible memory of a very similar
	sitution when I was playing Bantam hockey in Marlboro, Ma.
	to many years ago to remember.  Anyway, a twelve year old
	on the opposing team fell in front of a shot that hit him
	in the neck,collapsing his windpipe.  He died on the ice.

	Yes, Mike, just reading just reading your post sent all
	those memories rushing through my mind.  It made me take
	a moment out of a hectic day to realize how precious life
	is.  Thanks Mike, and thanks Kevin, you're in my prayers.
