Friday, March 16, marks the 10-year anniversary of Brittanie Cecil being struck by a puck in the stands of a NHL game. The 13-year-old fan was attending her 1st NHL game, Espen Knutsen of the hometown Columbus Blue Jackets fired a slap shot, Calgary Flames defenseman Derek Morris deflected it and the puck struck her in the head. She passed away two days later.
