This Canadian hockey player of Ukrainian origin, who defended his goal, was injured incompatible with life. The edge of the ridge was cut by a jugular vein.

Seeing this impassioned sight several viewers lost consciousness right on the podium, two were taken to the hospital with heart attacks, and several players even vomited right on the ice.

The physiotherapist of the team reacted in time. He provided competent assistance, as he served in Vietnam in the past and was a military medic there. Thanks to his efforts, Clint Malarchuk, having lost 1.5 liters of blood, remains alive.

After the operation and a short rehabilitation period, the goalkeeper went out on the ice again. He finished the entire season of 1989, but he tried to restore his shaky psychological state with alcohol. Once he drank so much that everything ended in a state of clinical death. But this time it was brought back to life.

Former goalkeeper Buffalo Sabers switched to coaching. But the bloody event on the ice did not let him go. 9 years after the resuscitators returned Malarchuk to life after a clinical death, he shot himself a bullet in the head, putting the muzzle of the hunting rifle under his chin. A bullet of the 22nd caliber punched her chin and flew through her mouth, not hitting the brain of the former goalkeeper; so he survived for the third time.

Over time, Malarchuk settled down, started an ostrich farm, wrote a book about his life and spoke at schools with lectures on mental health, threats of injuries in the home, and rules for the provision of first aid.
