Fred Jock is employed by the Freeloader District School Board ("FDSB") as a grade 10 teacher at Bedrock High School. He is also the volunteer coach of the Bedrock Community Boys' Novice Hockey Team which is established by and part of the Bedrock and Area Minor Hockey Association ("BAMHA"). Almost all of Fred's team members are also his students at School, including one of his best players, Dylan Tough. Some of the team practices are also held at the school rink. In September of 2022, the team qualifies to play at the provincial tournament, which is held on Saturday, October 8, 2022, at a private school located in Redneck County - Redneck College ("REDCOL"). Referees for the provincial tournament are chosen and paid by the Redneck and Area Minor Hockey Association ("RAMHA"), the association responsible for minor hockey in Redneck County. During this provincial tournament Dylan has three serious fights in two games with opposing team members. In one game an opposing player, Bobby Big, suffers a broken nose after being slugged by Dylan. In the same game Fred Jock throws a hockey puck at an opposing coach, Bert Offside, which cuts Bert's forehead. Before the final game, between Bedrock and Redneck, the coach of Redneck asks Fred Jock to keep Dylan out of the game. Jock refuses. The coach of Redneck then goes to the referee for the game, Ron Cherry, and tells him to "watch" Dylan. Cherry's response is, "Ya got to let them play the game, buddy!" During the game Dylan gets into another fight with one of the Redneck players, Larry Domi. The fight goes on for approximately ten (10) minutes and Domi breaks his finger while he and Dylan are exchanging blows during the fight. Eventually referee Cherry breaks it up but during the breakup inadvertently strikes Domi in the jaw and fractures it. However, Domi continues to shake his fist at Dylan, and Dylan gets so upset that, while he is being led off the ice by Cherry, he throws his stick at Domi. Unfortunately, Dylan is a lousy throw and the stick lands in the first row of the stands and hits a spectator, Ted Bigshot, in the eye. Bigshot suffers permanent eye damage. Bigshot is a rich businessman, and because of his injuries his company, Bigshot Enterprises Incorporated, suffers a substantial loss of profits because Bigshot is not there for six months to "call the shots." In an opinion letter please consider whether Bobby Big, Bert Offside, Larry Domi and Ted Bigshot can make any legal claims against any party for damages resulting from their injuries, and whether Ted Bigshot can sue for the lost profits sustained by his company. When it comes to considering potential defendants do not forget to consider, in addition to various individuals, the liability of FDSB, BAMHA, REDCOL and/or RAMHA. Also, as noted above, do not consider issues relating to the tort of negligence
