In a high-octane showdown on Sunday, the clash between the Peterborough Petes and Kamloops Blazers brought forth the inherent intensity and physicality of hockey. Tragically, this thrilling encounter also witnessed an unfortunate turn of events that resulted in a severe injury.

Amidst the fervor, Minnesota Wild prospect Kyle Masters was fiercely pursuing the puck into the corner when he collided with Brennan Othmann, a promising talent from the New York Rangers' roster. The force of the impact sent Masters hurtling to the ice, his immediate response being a gripping clutch at his tailbone, visibly writhing in pain.


The urgency of the situation prompted the swift intervention of the medical team, who swiftly attended to Masters and identified the pressing need for medical assistance.


Reports emanating from the arena revealed Masters' desire to leave the ice under his own power, yet the medical professionals advised otherwise. However, today, the Kamloops Blazers have released a statement providing an update on the situation.

FOLLOWING HIS INJURY DURING THE MAY 28TH MEMORIAL CUP GAME, KYLE MASTERS WAS REMOVED FROM THE ICE BY STRETCHER. HE WAS FULLY AWAKE AND MOVING ALL OF HIS EXTREMITIES AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE ROYAL INLAND HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT FOR FURTHER EVALUATION.

THANK YOU TO THE BLAZERS AND PETERBOROUGH'S MEDICAL STAFF AND BCAS PARAMEDICS FOR THEIR MEDICAL CARE ON THE ICE.
