from Kevin Lagoie of the Cornwall Standard Freeholder,
McCourt now found himself laid out on the ice. Throop also suffered a stick blow to the head in the brawl that ensued. The referee, Thomas Quinn, tried to get the players to stop, but they had tuned him out. Finally, he shouted “Look at the man on the ice,” and that was enough to bring the brawl to a halt. Quinn then helped McCourt to the dressing room, at which time he noticed the player had two cuts on the left side of his head.
McCourt was sitting with his head in his hands, and complaining of having a headache and being dizzy. Despite the pain, McCourt insisted on returning to the game.
At first, he seemed to be all right.
The pain for McCourt was finally too much to handle. Saying he was “all in,” McCourt headed for the dressing room.
Those would be his last words
