Friends, hockey players get injuries from time to time: they’re large, athletic human beings that crash into each other at high speeds on the regular, after all. But Calgary Flames prospect Jack Beck suffered a doozy of an injury earlier this season. Over at The Athletic, Scott Wheeler delved into Beck’s injury and road back to game action. (It’s paywalled, but it’s a great read.)
It happened on one of two hits on the same shift in a Nov. 7 game between his Ottawa 67’s and the North Bay Battalion. The first was delivered to him by Battalion defenceman Ty Nelson as he skated the puck up the left wing.
