(1) - A tragic accident occurred on Tuesday, November 19, 2002 as a 21-year old player died after he attempted to block a shot in a major Korean hockey league game, played at Chuncheon, Korea. Defenseman Seung Ho Choi of the Kwangwoon University team apparently attempted to block a shot with his body in a league game against the Dongwon Dreams late in the second period and the puck hit him in the chest, close to the heart area. According to a report from the Korean Ice Hockey Association (KIHA) to the IIHF, the player’s tongue curled in the direction of the throat when the referee immediately stopped the game and examined the player. Immediate emergency care was taken by the medical staff of the Dongwon team and the staff of the Kwangwoon University team before the ambulance arrived to the arena. The efforts were in vain as the life of player could not be saved. He was pronounced dead upon arrival to the hospital.
