Frightening scene from a QMJHL game involving Gatineau Olympiques player Justin Blais and a stretcher after convulsing on the ice
Blais has now spoken out about his injury, after it went viral:
A horrifying scene on Friday night after Blais got into an altercation which lead to him falling on the ice and smacking it with his head in an unfortunate scene. Blais started season, according to reports, and medical staff had to tend to him. He was later rushed to the hospital, and the QJMHL decided to end the game and wipe the time remaining off of the clock.
"A very concerning scene in Baie-Comeau: the head of Justin Blais from the Olympiques hit the ice as he fell during a scuffle. He went into convulsions and had to be taken off the ice on a stretcher. Fortunately, he was conscious as he left. Thoughts are with the Olympiques."
Thankfully for Blais, in a swift turn of events, he had sent a photo to the team, the Gatineau Olympiques, and thanked fans at the same time.
With his permission, Justin Blais wanted to thank our supporters and everyone across the
@LHJMQ
for the kind words.
With his consent, Justin Blais wanted to thank our fans and everyone in the QMJHL for the kind words.
It is a ray of sunshine to see Blais being so positive after a very tragic situation, and we hope he recovers fully and healthily.
