Chanter out of hospital
Good news for 18-year-old defenceman Dylan Chanter of Armstrong B.C. He was released from hospital on Sunday after a scary incident that left him in convulsions on the ice on Saturday night.
Chanter plays for the Dubuque Fighting Saints of the USHL junior loop. Midway through the second period in a game against the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders, Chanter lost his helmet in a fight and then smacked his unprotected head on the ice after he lost his balance in the scrap.
He was knocked unconscious and then went into convulsions on the ice as his mother watched online back home. The game was suspended.
After a bevy of tests he was diagnosed with a concussion, released from hospital and he felt good enough to tweet "Happy thanksgiving to everyone back home. So thankful for all of the support so far. " on Sunday afternoon.
