Former NHL player (and forward for the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” team) Mark Pavelich allegedly attacked his neighbor with a metal pole, causing “obvious disfigurement” of his leg, a bruised kidney, two cracked ribs and a fractured vertebra.
Pavelich was reportedly out fishing with the victim beforehand, and believes the man had spiked his beer, which led to the attack.
