B.C. hockey officials saying little after fight leaves goalie lying motionless on ice
Evan Paul was playing his second game in net for the North Vancouver Wolf Pack when a fight erupted in the third period of his team's Jan. 25 game against the Richmond Sockeyes at Minoru Arena.
Video of the fight shows Richmond defenceman Eithan Grishin over top of Paul with his arms around the goaltender for close to 20 seconds. When Grishin lets go, Paul slumps to the ice.
Grishin, 19, was (previously) suspended 16 games for incidents earlier this season, according to the PJHL website.
On Nov. 16, he received a 13-game suspension — five games for harassment of an official, three games as supplemental discipline, two games after receiving a game misconduct for being the third man in a fight, and three games as supplemental discipline for being a repeat offender.

North America is the continent buddy.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas
The Americas, sometimes collectively called America,[4][5][6] are a landmass comprising the totality of North and South America
You are putting in a lot of effort to die on the dumbest hill ever.
People from the USA put a lot of effort appropriating everything and they can get fucked.
Since the 1950s,[18] however, North and South America have generally been considered by English speakers as separate continents, and taken together are called the Americas, or more rarely America.[19][20][4] When conceived as a unitary continent, the form is generally the continent of America in the singular. However, without a clarifying context, singular America in English commonly refers to the United States of America.[4]
As a Canadian it's not my problem if people from the USA wants to appropriate the term that very clearly refers to the continent in their own country's name.
As a Canadian you know damn well that when someone says America they're referring to the country, not two continents.
And I correct them like I'm doing now
🖕
To correct someone you have to be right about it in the first place.
Oh but I am right, the continent had its name before the USA was even a thought in anyone's mind.
It's the United States of America, what is America if not the continent in which these States exist to be united?
The people of the USA have no exclusive right on a term used to designate a continent they share with more people than lives in their country.
I know they love to pretend no other country exist and a ridiculous number of them couldn't point their own country on a map let alone know that Canada isn't a State, it doesn't make them right to appropriate the term "America" or "American".
How would you designate someone who comes from the American continent? People from Asia are Asians, those from Europe are Europeans... So, what do you call someone who lives on in that other continent where you find such countries as Mexico, Honduras, Brazil, Ecuador, Canada, etc.?
