Update on Jaime Heward from the team

Here is an update on the status of Jaime Heward from a team release:
“Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Jamie Heward has been released from a Washington D.C. hospital and is traveling back to Tampa today. Heward suffered a concussion during the third period of last night’s game against the Washington Capitals.
Heward, 37, was taken to Sibley Memorial Hospital last night, accompanied by Lightning Assistant Athletic Trainer Mike Poirier. He underwent further testing, where it was determined that no damage to his cervical spine occurred. Heward was kept overnight as a precaution and will be sidelined indefinitely, though the prognosis for his personal health is good.’‘

Good news! Hoping for a quick recovery for Jamie and no long-term effects. Sure was scary to see on TV.

As one who has had a concussion playing hockey, it’s a lot scarier to Heward than to anyone who watched it, believe me. Waking up with your teammates around you, but still being not quite right is a really frightening thing; but, then you still come back and play because it’s hockey and you love the game, so injuries won’t deter you.
If you count the number of hockey players who play with one or more concussions under their belt, you will run out of fingers and toes.
Good luck Jamie and we look forward to seeing you playing soon.
