Description
This court concluded that participants in an athletic event owe a duty to other participants to refrain from reckless misconduct
and that liability may result from injuries caused a player by reason of a breach of that duty. [454] At the trial of an action in tort seeking damages for severe injuries sustained by the plaintiff in an ice hockey game when
he was struck in the abdomen by the "butt-end" of a defendant's hockey stick, the Judge properly entered judgment in favor
of the defendant where the jury, in answer to a special question, found that the defendant had not acted recklessly; furthermore,
the Judge did not err in denying the defendant's request for an instruction to the jury with regard to the duty each player
owed to all other players to refrain from conduct in violation of a safety rule and, instead, instructing them in terms of
recklessness. [455]
