Oil Kings' Brendan Kuny stretchered off the ice after hit from Thunderbirds' Tyrel Bauer (video)

Some scary moments from the WHL's championship series Wednesday night. Just over five minutes into the first period of game four, Brendan Kuny of the Edmonton Oil Kings took a huge hit from Tyrel Bauer of the Seattle Thunderbirds. Kuny would lay motionless on the ice for several minutes before finally being stretchered off. The first video below shows just the hit. The second shows the hit and the entire aftermath, including Kuny being taken off the ice on a stretcher.

Bauer ended up with a five-minute major for interference, as well as a game misconduct. Kuny was taken to hospital, but was released later on with the Oil Kings saying he would join the team in Edmonton for further evaluation.

The Oil Kings won the game 3-2 and hold a 3-1 series lead.
