Winnipeg Jets prospect defenseman Garrett Brown, who is currently playing with the University of Denver, was hurt in a scary scene during a game last night, requiring him to be stretchered off the ice.
Thankfully, he managed to avoid a serious injury that could have been far worse.
The University of Denver's social media account shared the following update based on what head coach David Carle said:
David Carle said postgame that Garrett Brown returned to the arena right as the game was ending, and that x-rays were negative. Absolutely fantastic news.
Carle himself then released the following update, saying that Brown was already back at the arena with his teammates.
He's (back) here (at the arena) so there's the fact that he's been released from the hospital. I know about as much as you do. You can infer that things went well at the hospital and now he's back with the guys, which is wonderful news. It was precautionary, but they thought they would probably have to keep him overnight is what I heard. So the fact that he is back is really positive. Big relief obviously for our team and our staff and his parents.
