Hockey injuries (Score:1)

by cbrandtbuffalo (4462) on 2004.02.16 11:34 (#28503) Journal

I've had my share of hockey injuries as well. My worst was when I broke my ankle in three places and needed screws to put it back together. Medicine being what it is, I'd say I'm back to 95% on that ankle with the only real side-effect being some soreness on cold days.

The real effect has been much greater, however. My wife started a three strikes and you're out program for hockey. Three major injuries and she says I can't play anymore. Now, we argue about the meaning of "major" injury, of course. My count is at one (the ankle). She is at two because of a cut I got when a puck hit me in the head and cut me through my helmet. It was only a few stitches, so I don't think it counts.

Good luck with whatever you choose!

  I would say a major injury is one that is permanently, or long-term, debilitating. Stitches don't count!
