Former National Hockey League forward Damien Brunner made headlines over the week-end for all the wrong reasons.

During a game in the National League HC Ambrì-Piotta's Mikko Maenpaa was caught completely unawares by the stick of Brunner when the former New Jersey Devil delivered a slash to the face of Maenpaa.

While it didn't look like Brunner was directly aiming for Maenpaa's face, that's clearly where the impact was delivered and there's really no reason Brunner should have had his stick that high. Needless to say his actions have earned him a suspension and likely the ire of Maenpaa and his teammates.
