...weren't at stake. It was just an off-season scrimmage for a bunch of preteen hockey nuts, hoping, perhaps, to add some power to their slapshots. On July 5, from the stands of the Burbank Ice Arena, in Reading, Mass., Thomas Junta watched his 10-year-old son shoot the puck. The kid wasn't faring well. Though contact was forbidden, an elbow nearly smashed his nose.
