Cruncher and Slammer are professional hockey players who are playing on opposing teams. As Cruncher is skating up the ice with the puck, Slammer checks him hard into the boards along the side of the hockey rink. An altercation develops between them, including Slammer yelling a racist slur at Cruncher (who is Indigenous) and some punches are thrown. The referee stops the play, and after a brief period, the linesmen separate Cruncher and Slammer and lead them toward their respective penalty boxes. However, Cruncher breaks free from his accompanying linesman and skates up to Slammer and punches him in the eyeto the delight of the local fans. Cruncher is 6 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 280 pounds. Slammer is 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 150 pounds. The blow inflicted by Cruncher causes a serious concussion and opens a deep cut underneath Slammer's eye (numerous stitches are required to close the wound). What charges should be recommended and what are the possible defences that Cruncher may have?
