Francis Howell North came into the Wickenheiser Cup playoffs as the 12th-seed out of 16 teams. On Tuesday, they won the Wickenheiser Cup. During the celebration, junior Dj LaMartina dove into a pile of teammates. Unfortunately, he came in a bit too low and headbutted a teammate’s skate, opening up a nasty gash on his face that apparently took 88 stitches to close. If you’re interested in seeing what a facial laceration that requires nearly 100 stitches looks like, scroll down below the video of the puppies.

Update: More like 60 stitches.
