That said, I think it's time that Genoway gives it the old college try (no pun intended). Pop an aspirin or two and suit up. If it doesn't work it doesn't work.
Head injuries are nothing to mess with. Until he has fully recovered, he should not play. If that means he does not come back until Feb, next year or not at all, so be it. We have to remember that even though Fighting Sioux hockey is important to us, it is not as important as Chay having a full recovery from this serious injury. Adding to this injury could have devastating effects for the rest of his life. We also have to be aware that one person does not make a team. One person certainly can have an impact on the team, which Chay does, but this is a team sport. Take a look at the Gophers. They have tons of talent but have not developed the team mentality and effort that it takes to be successful in college hockey, much less the WCHA.
Here's hoping Chay has a complete recovery from this injury!!
