Out of all sports injuries seen each year thirty-three percent of these injuries occur in children aged five to fourteen. Four million children seek emergency room treatment for sports injuries and eight million seek treatment from family physicians each year. As kids move from the pee wee leagues on into middle school they begin to learn about organized sports, and if they do not make one of the two teams set up by the school they have no other option or team they can play on.

After practice Junta approached Costin and allegedly grabbed Costin's shirt and ripped his gold necklace off, leading to a brief scuffle, which gets broken up by rink security. Junta left the building and later returned with "clenched fists" knocked Costin down and proceeded to beat him into a coma. He beat Costin's head with his fists and banged his head against the hard rubber mats, while his kids watched.
