13 year old Brittanie Cecil died Monday night after being hit in the head by a puck during a game between the Columbus Blue Jackets' and the Calgary Flames.

Now, I've always wondered about whether or not fans had ever been killed at games. The thought I always had was of someone not paying great attention at a baseball game and getting clipped in the head with a line drive to left field.

It raises the question - should the glass at hockey games be higher? Is this an acceptable loss to the hockey community or the hockey franchises, so that they can feel okay about keeping the glass at its current height?

Regardless, it's sad that she didn't make it. I hope her family has the strength to make it through.
