Toronto has once again found itself in the throes of sports
fanaticism this year. The Blue Jays repeated the successes of last
year's meteoric rise to the American League Division Series
Championship. The Toronto FC just concluded a competitive campaign,
losing the MLS Cup to the Seattle Sounders. The Raptors are in the
midst of their own campaign for a fourth straight Atlantic Division
title. The city has become a hotbed of hockey activity. It welcomed
the best players in the National Hockey League as they competed in
the World Cup of Hockey and will host the newest generation of
hockey talents in the World Junior Hockey Championships.
Millions of fans from across the country attend sporting events
to experience the highs and lows of these thrilling journeys with
their favourite athletes. However, when these large, boisterous
crowds are exposed to the very real dangers of injury at sporting
events, things can take a sharp turn for the worst.
