ST. CATHARINES, Ont. - A hockey goalie who destroyed another player’s face with his stick is headed to jail.
Todd Ball, 38, of Fort Erie, Ont., was sentenced to serve 30 days on weekends and one-year of probation for assault causing bodily harm by Judge Tory Colvin Wednesday.

“He only got 30 days for breaking someone’s face. My life has never been the same.
“I can’t feel my face. It is numb. I get bad headaches. It is hard for me to sleep. I’ve had facial surgeries and reconstructions. The sentence was too lenient. It’s an injustice. It’s ridiculous.”
