Was gone full steam after the puck, then catching an edge around the faceoff dot, and spiralled backwards feet first into the boards. Luckily didn't break anything, but could feel the strain on my ankle and the bone connecting to it and was unable to put any pressure on it. Walked gingerly with a limp for days. Tried playing on it again two weeks later, and as soon as I stepped on the ice my leg just gave out underneath me. I slipped as if it were akin to trying to skate after losing your skate blade.
Didn't happen to me, but I've seen a guy lose his eye after his goalie flicked the puck and his follow through slashed him right across the eye. As I needed any further evidence to never play without a full cage, which I've always done. Just not worth it.
