Although I see your point, I wasn't trying to hurt him, I let him go after one punch
Up until that point he really was in the wrong. But still, even if it was unintentional, I think you ended up doing a lot more harm than he did. It wouldn't hurt to apologize, and hey- maybe he'll see that you're the better person through that and he'll apologize too (and possibly drop charges that I imagine he's planning on pressing)
Also for some reason I forgot to his 'post' before I left to take a shower so now there's 22 new replies I have to look through >.<
edit- also just ignore wooly, 6"2 is obviously tall and playing hockey requires that you be in decent shape.
