Fan hit by stray ball

Perusing various clips on Youtube (not sure of any other way of accessing hockey footage!), caught something odd/intriguing in this video. I've seen hockey photographers duck and luckily miss these types of stray balls (in person when I was at EG watching the Euro Hockey League first round games) and was at the EG game a couple of weekends ago where a ball did get flung way over into the stands but luckily not close enough to anyone, but have never heard of someone actually getting hit. With hockey there is always this danger which means you hope and pray it doesn't happen. I've heard of it happening in ice hockey, where they put up glass etc. to help stop it happening, but never in hockey. Eek.
