Keep Torrel in your prayers.
    Sounds awful. However, scalp wounds bleed profusely, and the presence of a lot of blood doesn't necessarily mean significant skull injury. Fingers crossed.

      Sounds serious. Keep us posted on Torrel's condition.

      I've often noticed how loose fitting the players seem to wear their helmets these days. We've talked in the past about the helmets that Mark Messier promotes to protect from concussions. And of course most hockey fans are aware of the death of DU Alum Bill Masterton who died from an injury when his head hit the ice.

        Lastest update:

        Torrel does have movement in his arms and legs. Looks like a concussion at this time.

        Torrel was bent over and skating backward into the McGill zone while collecting the puck when McGill's Francis Verreault-Paul elbowed Torrel in the back of the head, driving him helmet-first into the boards. He suffered a head injury and a cut above the left eye.

        Air Force played them tough...and won 5-4.

          Now that we have the Swami rumors cleared up...

          I'm sure he'll return to posting sometime, but I bet he has other ways to support the program in the meantime.

          For those out there who can't handle fans talking about players: STAY OFF THE INTERNET, and crawl back into your bubble. Either that, or grow a thicker skin and stop messing with the people that actually give a dammmmn about DU hockey.

          I can't wait for the season to start. I know it's a burden to carry heavy expectations, but this could be a team to get excited about if everyone can stay healthy. Bennett, Shore, Zucker, Makowski, Ryder, Mayfield. Looks promising, especially with Murray's solid debut against McGill.

          I'm mostly bummed about Notre Dame, but what are you gonna do? If there was a behind-the-scenes refusal to give in to any unreasonable Notre Dame demands, then I'm OK with it.

            That should apply to the people who post here as well.

                  Looks like they are going to Hockey East. I don't know if it's official, but that's the buzz because I think the NCHC announced they are sticking with 8 teams.

                      Ok, but that doesn't answer my question!!! Let me guess, they don't want to be in the Super League?

                        Basically he was sent a threatening anonymous letter. Most likely it was sent by a player parent.

                        How did a parent of a DU hockey player get Swami's home address? Sounds sort of fishy.

                          ND Scheduled to join Hockey East announcement today. Rumored dispute with NCHC over television contract. Sunday, NCHC announced will begin 2013-14 with 8 teams.

                          Remember there is a game this weekend and three Shore Bros. could be on the ice.

                              Finally BBM! I think this might be the first non Swami post you've made here. Good trend!

                                Background check websites...they probably got his name from another parent. There's ways.
