Warning: You might want to finish what’s left of your lunch before going any further. You good? OK let’s proceed.

According to Deadspin, a high school hockey player got the scare of a lifetime when his face smashed into a teammate’s skate while they celebrated winning the state championship.

DJ LaMartina and the rest of the boys from Francis Howell North had just won Missouri’s Wickenheiser Cup as a 12-seed, so needless to say, they were pretty jacked up about it.

The good news for LaMartina is that if he doesn’t really remember the final moments of the championship game because he and his teammates were so excited, he now has a permanent reminder of the good times. The bad news for LaMartina is that the reminder is engraved into his face.

To his credit, LaMartina is in good spirits and even tweeted that “everything is OK.”

Well, except for his face.
