Is there any case law where a team captain was responsible for ensuring that the rules of the ice hockey league prevented slide tackling?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Robinson v. Bud’s Bar Inc., 2015 BCSC 1767 (CanLII):
The plaintiff relies on the case of Forestieri v. Urban Recreation Ltd., 2015 BCSC 249, where the rules of the league prevented slide-tackling and the team captain was responsible for ensuring that players knew and abided by the rules to ensure safety. This was not to be characterized as a failure to act but as a failure to carry out his responsibilities to ensure that players knew the rules. The plaintiff says similar analysis is applicable here.
