Windsor Spitfires Hayden McCool Injury Update

Spitfires left winger Hayden McCool was injured after sliding head first into the boards behind the net at the 1:59 mark of the third period of Thursday night’s 4-0 win over the Saginaw Spirit. After receiving outstanding care from first responders and Spitfire medical staff, Hayden was taken to an area hospital, where x-rays on his neck were negative.

“We’re relieved at the test results,” General Manager Warren Rychel said. “It was a scary situation. The training staffs from both teams and on-duty paramedics did and outstanding job and we can’t thank them enough.”

There is no current timetable for Hayden’s return. He is not scheduled to accompany the club on this weekend’s trip to Kitchener and Owen Sound.
