THIS is the shocking moment a hockey player apparently kicked his opponent in the face with the steel blade on his skate.
The incident happened in the ironically named Adult Safe Hockey League.

Video footage of the moment has been shared on social media.
And police are also investigating the horror incident.
It occurred on Friday 29 July during a game between the Hotshots and Grizznasty in Canada.
A report was made to police on August 2.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Burnaby are investigating alleged assault.
Corporal Michael Kalanj said: “During the incident, the victim was allegedly kicked by another player, causing injuries that required medical treatment.”
Footage showed two players start shoving before a fight broke out.
One player from each team then fell to the ground and carried on fighting on the ice.
“The player was rightfully administered with a match penalty and immediate game ejection, which triggered an automatic indefinite suspension from all ASHL gameplay.
As they were pulled apart, one player seemed to kick the other in the head.
He looked to have made contact with the bottom of his skate, which is made of metal.
They both needed pulling apart again and one player was left needing medical attention.
North American Programs at Canlan Sports director Scott Campbell said: “Such acts of aggression have absolutely no place in the ASHL, or sports in general.
“This suspension will now be subject to additional supplemental discipline in-line with our ASHL Rule Book.”
