Sometimes the result isn’t so great. Some of you may not know this but I’m a big hockey fan. I was an Albany River Rats season ticket holder from the time I was 15 or so all the way through college. It’s a minor league team but the fans show major league devotion for the players and staff. It made reading this newspaper article all the worse:
BECKET, Mass. – Three players and employees of the Albany River Rats were seriously injured this morning after their team bus slid in snow and rolled on the Massachusetts Turnpike just before 3:30 a.m., Massachusetts State Police said.
Four people were admitted to Berkshire Medical Center.
“We were very fortunate and lucky,” Daniels said.
The team was returning from Lowell when the bus hit bad weather in the Berkshire Mountains and rolled, Daniels said. It struck a guardrail, coming to rest on its side and partially on the highway. The discovery of the disabled bus prompted other motorists to stop their vehicles on the highway and then try to slow approaching traffic, Daniels said.
Some seriously injured suffered lacerations during the accident.
Everybody on the bus was taken to Berkshire Medical Center. Four people were admitted for treatment and all aboard were being checked out by medical staff as a precaution.
I hope everyone is alright and that no injuries put players into jeopardy. What the hospital considers a “non-life threatening injury”, like a concussion, can effectively end a hockey career. Scary scary scary.
