Erik Thorvaldsson, or better known as Erik the Red, has been picking up traction in both accumulating points in the Greenland Ice Hockey League and generating local media spotlight. His latest egregious event was putting an opponent against the boards and beating him unconscious after the player had allegedly been chirping at Erik for 2 periods. This cost the player a game ejection, hefty fine from the league, and a 10 game suspension. Erik was not available for an interview regarding this. In the 3 games he has played so far he has put up 5 goals and 10 assists for 15 points and an average ice time of 18 minutes.
