Ross; Team Suffer Disapointment Of Unfortunate Ankle Injury

Every athlete at some point in his career will suffer a great disapointment that will test his resolve and make his appreciation for playing his sport even stronger.

Friday we received news that forward Garrett Ross had broken his ankle in a non-hockey related accident and will be out of action for no less than 8 weeks.

For Ross the injury comes only one week before he was scheduled to attend the USA National Select 15 Festival in St. Cloud Minnesota as a representative of our Belle Tire team.

Not only is the injury a personal disapointment to Ross - perhaps the biggest disapointment he has suffered so far in his young hockey career - but equally disapointing for our team entering training camp and the first portion of our season without this tremendous hockey player.

If there is any silver lining to this unfortunate situation, at least the timing and nature of the injury should allow Ross to heal and get back in action by the time our Michigan MWEHL season gets rolling in early November.
