The New Jersey state Supreme Court today dismissed a lawsuit filed by a woman injured by a ricocheting puck during the warm-up before a Trenton Titans' hockey game.
The court ruled 4-3 vote that the woman, Denise Sciarrotta, can't sue the franchise or the East Coast Hockey League for damages for the Jan. 3, 2003, incident.

Despite my light-hearted comment above, and the fact that I completely agree with the NJ state supreme court on this one, I do think the netting they have at end of the NHL rinks now is a good idea. I've watched a game through one and after the first few minutes I didn't notice it at all.
