This season, I had decided to NOT provided detailed game updates for away games, but tonight I will call an exception.
Its a situation you never want to see regardless of what level of hockey, or what side you are on. Tonights game had to be called as a late open ice hit on Nitehawk forward Brandon Butlin rendered him unconscious. He was wisked off to the hospital where he underwent x-rays. At last correspondence, it was relayed that Brandon was awake and responsive. He is being held overnight for observation but should be ok.
I have heard from both sides of this situation, and been informed that Nelson is distraught and remorseful. Nitehawks are thankful it isn’t worse than it is.
Once again, I would like to thank absolutely everyone who responded. I WILL pass along each and every message to Brandon personally once I get that chance.
Get well soon Buddy!!
