Update Provided On Disturbing Incident Involving A Skate Cut

Since the incident, both players involved have given an update on their status. First from Hartmann's team Timra.
"Sebastian Hartmann was accidentally hit on the calf by a skate blade. He is in good spirits and doing well but will require surgery. His rehabilitation extends beyond the remainder of the season."
While it is disappointing that Hartmann will be forced to miss the rest of the season it sounds like he will make a full recovery. Brian Cooper was also able to speak and give his perspective on the events.
"It was a little bit of a relief. I felt terrible, because you don't want to hurt anyone. But I'm glad he seems to be okay."

Luckily for both sides things did not end worse. This season around the world of hockey has been filled with tragedy caused by skate blade cuts. Hopefully incidents like this will lead to positive change within the sport.
