What was an exciting day for many Montreal Canadiens fans turned into a scary ordeal for one particular family.

On Sunday, 17,000 fans packed the Bell Centre in Montreal to watch the team's open practice. Canadiens players circled the ice and threw pucks into the stands for children in attendance. However, a puck tossed by star defenseman P.K. Subban accidentally struck a one-month-old baby directly in the head.

The baby girl, Beatrice, suffered a concussion and remains under observation. She's expected to fully recover, according to her mother Valerie Meloche.

Meloche issued the post thanking fans who immediately came to the aid of her daughter following the incident.

Canadiens vice president of communications, Donald Beauchamp, indicated that members of the organization visited the family at the hospital. He also said Subban's planning to apologize to the family, even though he isn't directly to blame for the incident.

"I can tell you, P.K. is really excited to meet the family and hold the little one in his arms," Beachamp told TVA.
