According to USHR Masters is a former UNH recruit. They also mention he is trying to rebuild his reputation on and off the ice after being kicked off two teams in two years (Muskegon Lumberjacks and Jersey Hitmen).Jordan Masters is playing for the West Kelowna Warriors in the BCHL this year. His player profile on the Warriors website does not mention a commitment to UNH. Other Warriors who do have a college commitment have that information included on their player profile.
Marcus Vela (Langley-BCHL), the top '97 forward in the BCHL has committed to UNH.
“exactly what we as researchers feared. Blows to the head from fists, and hitting your head on the ice from an unprotected fall with or without a helmet, can result in catastrophic injury or even death. The time to stop fighting in junior hockey is now.”
Mike,
Given the severity of the injury and the re-occurring issues that can happen with concussions, what's Dylan Chanter's prognosis? Is there concern that he may never play another game again, junior or collegiate?
Dylan Chanter appeared to hit the back of his head on the ice at the end of a fight. His helmet had come off during the fight. He had a full body seizure for approximately 2 minutes while lying on the ice. He also reportedly dislocated his left shoulder.
Chanter was conscious and moving when he was placed on the stretcher at rinkside. Immediately after he was wheeled out of the arena, he was brought by ambulance to St Luke's Hospital in Cedar Rapids. Initial tests and a CT scan showed no immediate concerns but he was airlifted to the University of Iowa Hospital in Iowa City for further evaluation by a neurologist and observation.
Dylan was released from the University of Iowa Hospital later Saturday evening. No further medical information (e.g., neurologist's evaluation, possible prescriptions, etc) have been released to the press.
Just after midnight, Dylan tweeted "Wanted to let everyone know I'm awake and okay." He returned to Dubuque early Sunday morning.
Experts who have commented on the incident involving Chanter believe it is fortunate that a catastrophic injury or even death did not occur.
According to the Dubuque Fighting Saints, Dylan was resting at his residence in Dubuque, Iowa, under the observation of the team trainer. Earlier today, he stopped by the team's arena and visited with his teammates.
To date, there have been no public comments, from either medical staff or members of the hockey community, about Dylan's long term prognosis. In his most recent tweet, Dylan included the following hash tag: #roadtorecovery.
