Sherry Lynn Matthews was watching her son play in a roller hockey game at Langford’s Eagle Ridge Hockey Arena when she was struck in the head by a puck.

B.C.’s Court of Appeal says a woman awarded more than $1 million after she was hit in the head with a puck at a Langford 2014 roller hockey game can keep the full amount.

Matthews developed a “visible mark and swelling above her eye” within minutes of the impact, Horseman added, noting it was unclear whether the woman later lost consciousness while resting alone at a nearby table. In the appeal decision, Horsman said that before the incident Matthews had been offered a lucrative contract selling credit card and debit machines. But after being struck in the head by a puck, her work began to decline. The woman had not worked in the two years prior to the trial, said the judge.
