Hurt Hibbing Kid

[fanofthegame]

Does anyone know what actually happened to that kid from Hibbing (#17), It looked like a knee injury. I hope he is doing okay. <p></p><i></i>

he broke is femar and separated his hip and is in surgery right now. <p></p><i></i>

Wow, so it was that serious. I saw them carry him off, and work on him on ice, and it looked like they had decided on the knee as the problem. That must've caused him a lot of pain. I wish him a speedy recovery, and if he's not a senior, hopefully he'll be skating again in a few months ready to try and get back to the tournament. <p></p><i></i>

Thanks for the update. I hope the best for the kid. I am pretty sure he is a senior. <p></p><i></i>

If the injuried player was #17 it is Ben Sartori, a senior who worked his butt off through the Hibbing hockey system. It's a shame that it happened to a kid like him, because you probably won't meet a better kid...he had zero talent, but through sweet and tears clawed his way up to the varsity team as a senior. <p></p><i></i>

your right sotaninrussia Benny doesn;t have the most skill on the ice but he sure did alot of the grunt work.Everyone knows he put his heart and determination in everything he did on the ice. I would liek to congradulate Benny on his season he had this year and wish him a speedy recovery.<br><br>great job at state BLUEJACKETS!! <p></p><i></i>

both of you guys couldnt have said it any better for kid like that.<br>I agree.<br>Lets hope the injury doesnt affect him on the hibbing baseball team cause they are going to need his arm this year! <p></p><i></i>

Ben didn't dislocate his hip it was his knee.I think he is suppossed to return home today. It was cool because there was a nice article written up in the hibbing news paper today.It was terrible that this happened in Bens last high school hockey game but he will be alright. <p></p><i></i>
