    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Local police published a similar statement saying they had notified the Quebec Coroner’s Office, which would look into the causes and circumstances surrounding the boy’s death.

    The boy was later transferred to an intensive care unit at a Montreal hospital, Saint-Eustache spokesperson Stéphanie Bouchard told CBC Friday morning before the city announced his death.

    The city has been shaken by the event, said Saint-Eustache Mayor Pierre Charron in a news release Thursday before the boy’s death was confirmed.

    In October, 29-year-old Adam Johnson, a professional hockey player, died after a skate blade cut his neck during a Challenge Cup game in Sheffield, England.

    But the equipment doesn’t offer substantial protection against direct, hard impact, according to Trent McCleary, a former Montreal Canadiens player who in 2000 suffered a career-ending puck strike to the throat during an NHL game.

    Valérie Cardinal, an athletic therapist for the Vikings des Laurentides, a high-level under-18 hockey team who play at the arena, said the community was united in its grief.
