Red Wings prospect laid out by brutal knee on knee.

We had a rather ugly incident in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League on Sunday and you just have to hope that the young kid who was left injured is going to be ok.

The incident occurred during a match up between the Halifax Mooseheads and the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies earlier today and although it's difficult to tell if it was the reason of a reckless play or an intentional one, there's no doubting the damage it did. Unfortunately for the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League it was their prospect, Jared McIsaac, who appeared to be injured on the play.

McIsaac, an 18 year old defenseman that is currently playing for the aforementioned Mooseheads, was the victim of a brutal knee on knee hit courtesy of Rouyn-Noranda's Jacob Teasdale. Not only was the contact clearly knee on knee but it was delivered with such force that it launched McIsaac well into the air before bringing him crashing down to the ice where he remained in rather obvious pain. McIsaac would remain down on the ice for some time before eventually being helped to the locker room. Although his condition was not initially known we would eventually get confirmation from the Mooseheads themselves that he, unsurprisingly, would not be making another appearance during today's game. 

This certainly looks bad for Teasdale, a 19 year old forward currently tried to the Montreal Canadiens organization, but it's too early to blame the kid for what does look like a pretty brutal knee on knee. For starters it appears as though Teasdale is looking for a solid body check here, both his stride and the motion of his body appear to indicate that the young forward was targeting McIsaac's shoulder. Additionally there doesn't seem to be any intentional move on Teasdale's part to stick out his leg or attempt to catch the vulnerable knee of McIsaac in any way for that matter.  No instead this looks like a failed body check that has gone horribly wrong and you have to feel bad for both McIsaac and for Teasdale as well if this is indeed the case. 

There have been calls for Teasdale to be suspended but without the benefit of having all the camera angles at this time it's too tough to call.
