A horrifying scene on Friday night after Blais got into an altercation which lead to him falling on the ice and smacking it with his head in an unfortunate scene. Blais started season, according to reports, and medical staff had to tend to him. He was later rushed to the hospital, and the QJMHL decided to end the game and wipe the time remaining off of the clock.
