Well..I will give you my credentials and explain the term. I have been involved in hockey as a minor hockey coach and registered trainer for over 45 years. I am currently with the Exeter Hawks of the Ontario Hockey Association. I have seen everything in hockey. A hit from behind is just exactly that crashing into a player from behind,he cannot see you coming, he cannot protect himself. Open ice hits from behind are dangerous but the hit from behind that takes a player into the boards is the most dangerous,especially if the player is hit four or five feet from the boards,putting you into the boards almost headfirst. In CHA which is Canada's governing body for hockey a hit from behind is an infraction no matter where it occurs and carrys a two minute penalty and a game misconduct which puts the perpetrator out of the game,from there he can recieve further suspension,if it occurs with 10 minutes or less in the third period.Hits from behind are rare, but do occur. I personally know a young man in his 40's that was hit from behind in a midget game(15 and 16 yrs) when he was 16 years old. he has some use of his lower limbs, can walk with a walker,but spends a lot of his work day in a wheel chair as an accountant. I feel sorry for the young man you described. Hockey has been cleaned up in our country,most uniforms have a "stop" sign in red material sewn on the back of all uniforms..just to remind all players on the ice. Referees don't hesitate to call a "hit from behind" and you are out of the game. Our youth have been educated that hitting from behind is a "No No"

As a companion to the articles on three-brush and two-brush generators, it seemed fitting that we should provide our readers with a description of how a generator works in lay terms. The difficulty with all those "theory of operation" texts is that they border on principles of electricity or physics and such. Since I know nothing of either, you will have to put up with looking at the common sense side of how generators work which means we "
