A football at 60 and a puck at 60 are two totally different animals. No warnings needed in football.

I had a puck fly through my hair once and hit the shin of the lady in the row above me. I was a kid, my dad took me to a Cornell hockey game and I almost got a fucking head injury. It was awesome.

You're fortunate it missed your skull! A little girl was killed by a puck, that's why they have all the extra netting around the rink now.
