Saskatchewan hockey player recovering after neck gashed by skate during game
ESTERHAZY, Sask. — A Saskatchewan hockey player is out of hospital after he was cut in the neck by a skate during a game.
The Sask East Hockey League says captain Cole Cusitar of the Churchbridge Imperials was cut under his jaw while facing off last week against the Esterhazy Flyers.
The league says it’s believed the 35-year-old fell to the ice and the blade of another player’s skate hit his neck.
The deep gash resulted in 80 stitches.
