They will likely be assault and battery. The prosecutors may do assault with a deadly weapon due to their being a hockey stick involved. But he has a defense if he was trying to defend himself, which is what it sounds like. I suggest getting an attorney to defend your boyfriend. I would recommend he plead not guilty and fight it out in court. I am assuming there were witnesses to all of this.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
