Twenty-year veteran NHL linesman Don Henderson underwent neck surgery to repair damage from being knocked to the ice by Wideman last January, and there are fears his career may be over, the Boston Globe reported Saturday. |
According to one of Henderson's friends in the officiating business, the recent surgery was aimed at repairing two ruptured disks in his neck, the result of the hit, per Kevin Paul Dupont's report in the Boston Globe. Wideman was suspended 20 games, but that was reduced to 10 games by a neutral arbitrator, although the defenseman had already sat out 19 games when the decision made following an appeal. |

The NFL Referees Association says it agrees with its NHL counterpart in objecting to the reduction of Wideman's suspension for knocking down a linesman. |
NFLRA executive director Jim Quirk said that any time an athlete makes unnecessary physical contact with an official, "there needs to be swift and certain punishment." An independent arbitrator reduced Wideman's suspension from 20 games to 10 after ruling that the Calgary Flames defenseman did not intend to injure linesman Don Henderson in Jan. 27 game. Quirk says arbitrator James Oldham's decision to reduce the suspension "sends a horrible message about sportsmanship." |

The National Hockey League Players' Association will appeal to an arbitrator for the suspended Wideman on Thursday and Friday. |

The suspension is the second longest in NHL history for abusing an official. |
