Rocket Roundup: Joël Teasdale’s long road back... again

In August 2019, weeks before his professional career was set to begin, he suffered a knee injury in training that kept him out until the season was cancelled due to COVID-19. The next season, he finally made his AHL debut, and had eight goals and 10 assists in 26 games before a second major knee injury on April 23.
Now, almost 10 months later, he is set for another return to the ice when the Laval Rocket take on the Texas Stars for the first of back-to-back games on Friday night.
