Came out of game...is he out? We thought since it was the first game of the season and they are 9-10, we would just skip him, move on with no penalty. Both coaches were fine with that.

BUT...what is the actual rule?
Depending on the rule set you are using, it is a simple substitution - not a out.

What the hell is a kid doing playing with stitches in his arm, anyway? Parents must be morons!
