Hockey's Worst Injuries
Sami Salo has suffered his 39th official injury of his career, but this is one he will never forget. In blocking a shot Salo suffered a lower body injury - namely a ruptured testicle.
Nick Fotiu suffered the same injury. He described the pain as "There is no way to describe it. Pain? Forget about it. You could … not … believe … the pain. @#*&, it was bad. Bad, bad pain." (Stick Tap to Kukla)
Salo and Fotiu are amongst those hockey players that took the coach's demands to bust their balls a little to literally. They'd also agree that is the worst possible injury in hockey.

I would have to say these 2...I was not sure of the entire story about these 2 injuries but i did some research and got this info for you...
March, 1989, Buffalo’s Clint Malarchuk suffered one of the visually most gruesome injuries the sport has ever seen. Steve Tuttle of the St. Louis Blues and the Sabre’s Uwe Krupp collided near Malarchuk’s goal crease, and Tuttle’s skate caught Malarchuk on the neck, slicing open his external carotid artery. With pools of blood filling virtually the entirety of the goal crease, Malarchuk somehow left the ice under his own power with the assistance of the Sabres’ team trainer. Many in the Buffalo arena were physically sickened by the sight, with seven fainting and two suffering heart attacks. It was reported that a person can bleed to death within 15 seconds of this artery being cut without direct pressure applied to stop the blood..he got medical within 8 seconds...

Mark Howe suffered one of the worst injuries in hockey history on December 27, 1980. Late in the third period Howe crashed feet-first into the goal cage and basically impaled himself on a metal post at the center of the net. This injury led directly to the contemporary cage’s redesign, which no longer features any exposed steel within. Howe was removed from the ice on a stretcher, treated in the hospital for a deep laceration to his left thigh and buttocks. The puncture narrowly missed the base of his spine, but he also could have bled to death.

Lou Fontinato,career ending broken neck may be one to add to the list.
