Death of Brittanie Cecil

Brittanie Nichole Cecil was a hockey fan who died from injuries suffered when a puck was deflected into the stands and struck her in the left temple at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, on March 16, 2002. It was the first and currently only fan fatality in the NHLs 85year history. Because of Cecils death, the league implemented mandatory netting at either end of the rink in every stadium at the beginning of the next NHL season in 200203 to protect spectators from errant pucks.
