Skapski Update

There has been no official release but there are many reliable sources reporting that ICE prospect Mackenzie Skapski was the player who most seriously hurt in the bus accident on the weekend.

Greg Drinnan (Taking Note Link to the right) has this on his blog today.

G Mackenzie Skapski of the major midget Fraser Valley Bruins is in B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, recovering from surgery to repair head injuries suffered in a bus accident Friday afternoon near Williams Lake, B.C. Skapski, from Abbotsford, B.C., was taken by the Kootenay Ice in the third round, 57th overall, of the 2009 bantam draft. He played last season with the Abbotsford Hawks, who won the B.C. bantam championship. . . . Skapski was released from ICU on Sunday and now is recovering in his own room. He has had two plates and some screws surgically installed to repair damage and facilitate healing.
