In a high-octane clash between the Peterborough Petes and Kamloops Blazers, hockey's unforgiving nature took center stage. Sunday's game witnessed a distressing incident as Minnesota Wild prospect Kyle Masters fiercely pursued the puck into the corner, only to collide with Brennan Othmann, the top prospect of the New York Rangers.

The force of the impact sent Masters hurtling to the ice, instantaneously clutching his tailbone in agonizing pain. The rapid response of the medical staff was commendable as they swiftly converged by his side, recognizing the gravity of the situation and the immediate need for medical attention.

Eyewitness accounts from the arena confirmed that Masters initially expressed his desire to soldier on, leaving the ice under his own power.

However, the medical professionals, prioritizing his well-being, advised against such a course of action. Today, the Kamloops Blazers have shared a significant update regarding Masters' condition.

FOLLOWING HIS INJURY DURING THE MAY 28TH MEMORIAL CUP GAME, KYLE MASTERS WAS REMOVED FROM THE ICE BY STRETCHER. HE WAS FULLY AWAKE AND MOVING ALL OF HIS EXTREMITIES AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE ROYAL INLAND HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT FOR FURTHER EVALUATION.

THANK YOU TO THE BLAZERS AND PETERBOROUGH'S MEDICAL STAFF AND BCAS PARAMEDICS FOR THEIR MEDICAL CARE ON THE ICE.
