Settlement papers of a case bought by the parents of Brittanie Cecil, killed when a puck hit her during a Columbus Blue Jackets game, were made public for the first time and revealed the financial details.
The NHL, the franchise and the Nationwide Arena jointly paid $705,000 to the girl’s mother, and $470,000 to her father.
Lawyers had taken action against the three parties following the incident – as well as the hospital which treated their daughter.
The legal papers had been kept private following the settlement in February 2003, until Columbus’ WBNS-TV won the right for the details to be made public.
