Player stretchered off the ice after dangerous hit during AHL game (w/video)

Some scary moments in the AHL Sunday night after a dangerous hit during a game between the San Jose Barracuda and Abbotsford Canucks. Early in the first period, the Canucks Vincent Arseneau drilled Joel Kellman with what appeared to be a dangerous hit to the head. Kellman went down in a heap. Check it out:

Kellman would require a stretcher in order to get off the ice. He did, however, give the crowd a thumbs up before he was brought to the back for further evaluation.

According to reports after the game, Kellman suffered a concussion, but was well enough to fly back to San Jose with his teammates. Arseneau was given a five minute major and a game misconduct for the hit.
