Luke Loheit's Hit on Jake Schmaltz

This is the hit that took out UND Forward Jake Schmaltz. With approximately 1:36 remaining in the second period, UMD forward Luke Loheit injured Schmaltz with this dangerous hit. The ref watched the whole thing and decided not to call a penalty. That was par for this past weekend's series. I felt that Nathan Wieler and Ryan Hersey had a rough series wearing the stripes and frankly should have a vacation this weekend. 

Depending on what fanbase you're from, I am sure someone will make the argument that this hit was a legal, hard hit. After the game, UND head coach Brad Berry said Schmaltz was day-to-day. s/t to Blackheart of Sioux Sports.
