Avoiding a vicious check in hockey is about survival

The teenage boys who play elite hockey relish the aggressive side of the sport. They take to the ice ready to outskate, outwork and out-'tough' the other team. At first, the crowd roars when physicality crosses the line; but an arena can go strangely silent when a young body lies motionless on the ice.
