Am I wrong in thinking this guy is a moron?

I know in minor hockey, it is ABSOLUTE that ALL players wear a lid... even on the bench. Is it permissible in Jrs to not? You think by college age the moron would know how dangerous it was behind the bench... so the sport suffers for this moron's stupidity.
I hope the judge in his 'infinite' wisdom, throws the case out on it's ear.

Normally, backup goalies do NOT wear their masks on the bench. Nothing wrong with that. But I agree, this is a ridiculous lawsuit! PAY ATTENTION! Next coaches will start suing arenas when they get hit with a puck! Granted, getting hit in the face with a stick while on the bench is sort of rare, it happens. He should have been awake.

And as a 3rd stringer, I don't think he had much "loss of future earnings" to worry about!
