Many prayers need to be sent to Terrell Goldsmith.
A Western Hockey League game between the Seattle Thunderbirds and Tri-City Americans was forced to be postponed this week after the Tri-City defenseman required medical attention following an on-ice fight.
Just one minute into the second period at the Toyota Center in Kennewick, a fight would break out between Thunderbirds’ Ashton Cumby and Americans’ Terrell Goldsmith.
That fight featured huge punches, but it ended terribly. Goldsmith’s helmet was knocked off, and he collapsed face-first onto the ice.
Goldsmith became unresponsive as some fans stated he began seizing.
