from Robert Tychkowski of the Edmonton Sun,
The death of Whitby Dunlops defenceman Don Sanderson struck a chord in hockey tough guys everywhere.
Theirs is the hardest job in sports and they are all acutely aware of the risks they take every time they drop the gloves.
“It does go through your head, but at the same time we have a job to do and it’s part of the game,” said Oilers enforcer Steve MacIntyre, who’s recovering from a broken orbital bone suffered in a fight with Eric Godard.
“A couple of my buddies had the same thing happen and fortunately they came through. It’s just the way it is, it’s the nature of the beast, you’re going to get hurt,
“It’s an accident, and accidents do happen. Heartfelt sympathies go out to the family, that’s for sure. You have to go on and deal with it the best you can.”
