CBSN
A timeout coordinator working the Friday night National Hockey League game between the Boston Bruins and the Carolina Hurricanes was struck in the head by a pane of glass that came loose near the penalty box, CBS Sports reported. The official, identified as Joe Foley, was hospitalized — but a Bruins player said it appears he'll be alright, according to The Associated Press.
The incident occurred after the Bruins scored a goal late in the second period to gain a 3-1 lead over the Hurricanes, CBS Sports said. Video shows the fans sitting near the penalty box hitting on the glass before a panel came loose and struck Foley.
Medical officials put Foley in a neck brace and took him away in a stretcher, CBS Sports said. The Boston Globe reported he was alert as he was being removed from the arena.
