My poor grandson caught the edge of a hockey ice skate in a dog pile, which I think was when the team surrounded him tightly after a game and jumped on him after a win. Tsk. Tsk.
I snuck this off his TikTok video. That’s why there are words across his beautiful face. He chose Anxiety by Megan Thee Stallion. You can look up the lyrics to find out what the word with the ***** means.
Anyway, he had stitches and is doing fine.
Hubs, his dad, and my younger son all said it goes with the territory of playing ice hockey. His mother and I live in fear, but boys will be boys I guess.

Ouch. I can’t take pain anymore. I cried when the dermatologist took a mole off.
Yes, boys will be boys, and it’s part of hockey. There are two things in life that have 40 legs and six teeth: a hockey team, and the front row of a Willie Nelson concert.

@DianneN — glad you enjoyed it. I’ll be here all week. Tip your wait staff, drive safely, and don’t forget the pizza buffet and three shows on Saturday.

Hmm I didn’t think that’s what a dog pile was. I’ve never watched a game so I was picturing something else a pile up but not over a win. I’ve learned something today 
.
If they do the stitches very well and he uses maderma or something like that it may not show someday. I hope anyway 
. Look at those amazing eye lashes though

I'm still trying to learn all about ice hockey. Never watched a game in my life until he started playing.
He received the stitches from a plastic surgeon, but good idea about that Mederma. If he has a scar that bothers him, he can have is layered away.
I wish I had those lashes myself

OUch, it musta hurt getting that stitched up. I got whacked in the eyebrow with a shovel full of dirt as a tot, and had to have stitches. The scar is permanent but the eyebrow covers it. A scar will make him look a bit more macho. Anyway, vitamin E oil can fade them.

@DianneN That;s good.. Yeah, in a way it was hilarious. at the doctor's office I was freaking out screaming and crying, due to the pain took 2 or 3 people to hold me down..but in the end they offered me a lollypop for being a good girl...how ironic...

@snowy22315 Kids love their lollipops! Our older son needed to have blood drawn from his finger when he was about 3 years old, but cried and wouldn't let the nurse take his hand. So hubs volunteered so my son would see how easy and painless it was. Unfortunately, my husband's finger wouldn't stop bleeding, but my son never saw that

Sometimes in life you get hurt, but then you get yourself back up and start again. He'll be just fine.

Atleast his eye was saved. Will he have to take some rest now?

Looks like a bad cut but he is a guy and he will be all right and yes, it is all part of ice hockey. All the best to him,

It's a brutal game I would not want my kid to play, but it will make him tough.

It is a brutal game, but he's loved hockey since he was 3 years old. He's also a tennis player and avid horseback rider/jumper. My other son played football. It's important to let the kids do what they love without putting fear into them. Sigh......

@JamesHxstatic My granddaughter broke her ankle twice during off ice practice, so.....
I've always been afraid of most sports, but do them anyway. My only injuries were getting hit by a tennis ball in the throat and falling while going after a racquetball. I tore a hole in the knee of my pants.

Sports are like that. The scar will help him when he tells the story years in the future.

After a while the scar will be very faint, it might take a while, but it will not bother him. It doesn't diminish the love you feel for him.
