Problem
Assumption of the Risk Knoxville Cherokees Hockey, Inc., is member of the East Coast Hockey League, a profes-sional hockey league. During a pregame warm-up, Craig A. Hurst entered the spectator area at the Florence City and County Civic Center. As he was standing in the spectator area, he was hit in the face by a hockey puck. The ice rink at the civic center was encircled by wooden dasher boards and protective Plexiglas up to a certain height. Hurst sued Knoxville Cherokees Hockey, Inc., the East Coast Hockey League, and the city and county of Florence (collectively "Respondents"). Does the doctrine of assumption of risk protect the Respondents from liability to Hurst?
