Ouch. Head down elbow up is always a recipe for disaster.

What a fucking dickhead. It’s training camp ffs. I have to believe that the coaches tell the players not to fkn run each other over in the scrimmage. It’s common sense… they’re teammates.

What a fucking idiot, nice way to lose respect from everybody else at the camp.

Jesus… in a fucking training camp? Really??

Who laid him out?

This kind of mentality is why the leafs are perennial losers

Nothing like taking out your own.

I lived to lay big hits while playing, but never on teammates at a training camp. What’s wrong with that guy?
He never even came back to check on him either. I don’t want 33 on any team I’m on

“You just got knocked the fuck out!”
JerbearCuddles
What an absolute moron. It’s training camp. You don’t run your own guy in fuckin’ training camp. Lol.
SaturnDE
That is just stupid. Engagement during training camp is great and all but not being able to watch out that you dont hurt one of YOUR guys is just stupid. I hope Hirvonen gets well soon
grantwolf1971
Hard to judge how bad it was without seeing the lead-up, but dumb as hell hit during training camp on a teammate.
Steelgangsta
Good hit.
guster-von
Has anyone here ever fought for a spot on a roster? Some of the worst people to play against is your own.
Bet he won’t cut to the middle like that with his head down anytime soon.

I can only hope it was accidental, but it doesn’t look like it

Keep your head up, kid.

Clean open ice hit assuming his shoulder never made contact with the head, and while I love the physical play, Training Camp is not the place for this though. What makes it worse is the person who laid the hit never even considered to check on the injured player.
I’d also like to mention that this sort of what camp is for, to make sure the players are ready for the NHL level, but this is way too far. While It’s certainly important to make sure young players are physically ready for the league, this is the type of hit you lay on in the playoffs, not on a rookie before his first preseason game.
I’ll also that that I think both people here learned a lesson. For one, Training Camp is not the place for these types of hits, but also, you HAVE to keep your head up in the NHL or things like this will inevitably happen at the worst time.

Damn! I hope it’s not a serious concussion…holy shit

I feel like this video starts too late. Like the hit has already started. I can’t tell if the player who laid the hit was trucking in or simply crossed paths and turned to knock him off the puck. If it’s the former, a pretty duck move. If it’s the latter it sucks but is just unfortunate.
sor2hi
Did 33 even come back to check on him?
NatureIndoors
Makes the Leafs look like trash, hope we cut that loser
threadsoffate2021
The clip started a good 5 seconds too late. Nearly impossible to see the hit.

That hit *on a fucking teammate*?! What a fucking degenerate.
superstarrr99
On a teammate. I get wanting to make the team. But if I’m the coach, I cut the kid who laid that hit.

Learning in the OHL versus learning overseas in a nutshell. Shouldn’t happen at training camp though obviously.

He was all like 😴👍

Keep your head up
ragingasshoes
Oh man that sucks. Hope Roni makes a full recovery. He’s one skilled player.

This reminds me of the hit on Horton.
SketchedOutOptimist_
I need to see the 10 seconds before the hit to pass judgement.
JonTheWizard
Think I heard the Punch-Out!! knockdown sound on that hit. Holy crap, take it easy, it’s training camp.
Sensitive_Mousse_445
Take it easy slugger it’s just fucking training camp lol
Xanyol
That’s one way to get noticed at camp
hockeyh2opolo
This feels like the Patrick Sieloff hit on Clarck MacArthur, totally overkill for a training camp/preseason friendly game.
​
I know everybody out there is trying to make it but this was unnecessary.
MagnustheJust
With a few key exceptions… you never really wanna see someone hit the ice like that with their brainpan.
SpecialistShop5733
Ouch.
Zeediddy2883
Scumbag hit
notlatenotearly
You rarely even get this in game let alone camp. Normally I’d say bro keep your head up but guarantee Roni wasn’t even thinking that hit was a possibility.
YaboyChris28
An over zealous try hard trying to make the team.
BlOcKtRiP
Clean hit don’t see an issue
Affectionate_Ear7468
Cant tell hit happens so early , looked like he got him clean
who987
Horrible clip of it. No time to see the play develop and hard to get a good look at it to see if it was clean/dirty.
fordfocusstd
Ouch, the team confirmed concussion but was walking around later.
Free agent invitee dumpstering a second round and AHL headed pick during a scrimmage, terrible optics.
Ropeswing06
It’s a job interview for these kids. If you can’t keep your head up during tryouts good luck in the NHL.

Text book suicide pass, the only real crime
Your own team smh
33 didn’t even circle back to check on him
