Biggest Hit You've Ever Seen?

Petrecki killing someone on the left boards in the 2008 semifinal vs. North Dakota was a good one.

Chris Collins got hammered by some BU putz in a Beanpot a few years back.

Grier used to kill everything that moved at BU in the mid-90s.

Please include the name of both teams...what school was Petrecki from?

Brian sipotz of miami creamed UNH's David Busch in 2000 or 2001. His number, #2 was immortalized as a verb in honor of the Sipotz hit.

There was also one last year when wisconsin played at Minnesota and Ryan McDonagh got Jay Barriball on the boards and flat out leveled him coming into the zone one of the best hits i'v seen as far as 1 on 1 with the defender coming into the zone and just plastering him into the boards., I keep trying to find it on youtube but i can't, even the minny announcers were like WOW!!!!!

The other team... Wisconsin at Minnesota. There are only 2 teams per game.
Last year would mean, well, last year.

Good luck with the new show.
 
Re: Biggest Hit You've Ever Seen?

This must have been around 92-94 or so.

I was at the Bradley Center for the Badger Hockey Showdown and UW's Dan Plante (5'11, 215) just "Planted" some poor kid skating with his head down through neutral. Plante had a head of steam and that kid did NOT get up for some time. The hit was clean, and dammit was it a pile driver.

And...it was right in front of us. The crowd just cringed and got pretty fired up after that hit.

Wisconsin Hockey: Danny "Freight Train" Plante.

Got Oshied.

File this next one away under old time hockey. I still remember when Craig Ludwig was in college at UND. Ludwig came to UND on a football scholarship to play tackle, but also tried out for the hockey team, and made the team as a walk-on. During player announcements at away games when his name was called the whole crowd would stand up on their feet and chant Goon...Goon...Goon

Seems like he could get away with murder and no one wanted to fight him. I recall during one game at the old Ralph Inglestad arena the puck got past the defensemen and was headed for the Sioux zone. A forward from the visiting team skated past Ludwig and Ludwig followed close behind. The puck drifted to the opposite corner of the rink and by then the forward and Ludwig were skating at full speed the full length of the ice. As the forward began to stop and touch the puck Ludwig hit him from behind at full speed. Ludwig launched him into the boards legs first then in a whip like motion his upper body and head crashed into the glass. After Ludwig crashed into him and then bounced off of him Ludwig skated away with the puck and the crowd was silent. The forward still facing the boards sort of slowly slid down the boards down to his knees then sort of slowly fell over to one side. As he lay motionless on the ice the crowd all on their feet then let out a great roar.:eek:

Ahhh Sipotz, that was a fun guy to watch, probably came in around 6'5" 250, without pads/skates. He broke someones leg once iirc.
