Despite high speeds, countless hits and blocked shots somehow no SHL player has missed a game to injury in who knows how long. How does the league do it? Are players pumped up with so many drugs and steroids that nothing can hurt them? Better doctors than money can buy to operate anyone during intermission? Clones? Is it all just a simulation?

It happened so quickly, during a game Frøya got boarded and she was absolutely certain that something broke. She's faced many injures in the past, most much lighter than others, but she had broken a few bones. She knew how it felt, she knew the pain that came with such an injury, this moment felt like one of those times. Her ankle twisted as she got shoved into the boards. She somehow managed to skate off the ice, just in time too as it was time for a shift change, the second line needed to get on the ice. Immediately she went to the locker room. There wasn't much time before her next shift anyway and she had to make sure she was going to make it back in time. Once she arrived at the team's medical room, she just looked over at the doctor with a nod. There was no need to explain. The SHL had a set of magical tools, first a bone wrench to reposition the bones correctly, followed by a solid injection of Tropidorepredatricinefnicline (Shorthanded to T.P.E.) and she was back in working order. Putting her skate back on after fixing her broken ankle, Frøya made it back just in time for the team to head onto the power play which she managed to score on. The magic of the SHL doctors is incredible. (228 words)
