Next Season Update
As many of you have heard by now, I will not be playing hockey this season. Unfortunately what I thought to be a severe groin injury was actually much more serious. I tore the labrum located in my hip and also need 3.5cm of my hip joint carved out in order to make it circular once again. Over my years of playing hockey it has flattened out and is no longer a spherical ball joint. The Surgery takes place on September 8th, and will be preformed by Dr. White who has been one of the primary contributors to research with this surgery which is a fairly new procedure.
The recovery time is six months. 2 weeks bed rest, 2 months on crutches and then 3 and a half weeks of rehabilitation before the doctor will give me the green light to once again begin training. I will be continuing my studies at Boulder Universal Online School for my senior this year. As a career credit I will be writing a paper on the surgery along with the recovery required. I will post the paper once it is complete for everyone to read so you all know what is going on.
I think that this surgery will have its bright sides as well however. I plan on really working on the finesse aspect of the game, working on my hands, footwork, and my shot and coming back a more versatile player adding this finesse to my physical play. I plan on coming back to Corpus Christi for my first post- high school year of juniors and then hopefully playing for a D1 college on a scholarship in my future!
I will keep everyone updated on my current status!
Thanks for the continued support!
