Kaspars Claude has dealt with nothing but injuries. Believe it or not, he has already torn a ligament in his knee, but it was only his MCL. Because it was partially torn and the MCL does not take that much strain compared to the other Ligaments in the knee, kaspars avoided injury and it healed on its own. He plays with a brace if anyone was wondering.

His heavy weight lifting gym sessions have caused Kaspars to have some joint pain in his elbow. He developped Tennis Elbow for a while and had to relax in the gym for that time being. Lucky for Claude, it was during the offseason so he did not miss any time during the season.

Hockey players work a lot on flexibility and need it, especially when it comes to their hips. Kaspars HATESworking on stretches and yoga and whatnot so he faces the same problem over and over again, and thats having his hips being tight for hockey. He gets a lot of work done from the team masseuse before every game and after every practice. Not to mention, the Motrins or Advils he takes to ease the pain and the inflammation.

Raiders Sophomore Goes to Unusual Lengths to Reduce Pain

If you were at the Raiders practice on Friday evening, you would have been treated to a strange sight: defenseman Adam Barron dressed in a full Darth Vader costume while taking part in on-ice drills. Meeting with a gaggle of reporters after the evening skate, he claimed it was to help him recover.

"First game of the season, I fractured my elbow. A couple of weeks after that, I dislocated my knee cap. Two games later, I broke my foot in three places. Then came the mumps. At some point the staff and I decided that it'd just be easier to lop off my limbs at the joints and rely on robotics to keep me upright. Less recovery time that way."

Most of the press at the practice had apparent difficulty determining whether the highly-touted defenseman was joking about such drastic changes to his body, though there were rumors from a couple of onlookers that Barron did raise one of the opposing forwards up off his skates using only the force.

"In the end, Adam's just trying to manage his pain." A senior training staff member added after the fact. "Mainly the pain that takes its toll on a player over the course of a season, but also emotional pain: it's difficult to see the Raiders last place in the standings through the helmet. I bet that helps."

Andreas Kvalheim plays a heavy and physical style of hockey. He led the league in hits last season and is on course to do so again, but doing so has taken a toll on Kvalheim's body. He had numerous aches and pains all over his body, but thankfully none of them have been serious enough to keep him out of the Renegades lineup. However, at the start of the season, Kvalheim picked up a injury to his right wrist which has been bothering him ever since. He makes sure to bandage the wrist before he steps onto the ice, but the injury, which effects his dominant hand, has impacted his shot. Kvalheim has been having difficult getting his shot off and hitting the net consistently, leading to a supbar shooting percentage and shot rate. For a player expected to be generating most of Texas's offense, this injury has really impacted the teams ability to score goals.

thoughout his career, Luke has always tried to maintain great health. Since an early age in Czechia he knew the important of doing all of the right steps. First thing he does is eat healthy, then stretch for about 20 minutes(before and after games), and do his normal retinue, but injury or sorenesss does happen in hockey. after a game againt the Colorado Raptors, I felt a lot of soreness in my left thigh for a couple days, and it hurt to walk on it. I played through it, and eventually it was just a really bad bruise. A couple weeks into my freshman year in the SHL, after a tough fought game against Manhattan Rage, I went to San Franciscos doctor and found out that i had some bad migranes, so I had to rest for a couple days before they cleared back up. After winning my first fight, my hand hurt like hell for a week until it healed up

DollarAndADream · 10-19-2019, 08:11 PM

I definitely have some soreness over the past week, that is for sure. In practice yesterday I got hit right in the ball sack by an Otis B. Driftwood slap shot. He just wound up his stick and blasted it, and I think it might have been targeted. I overheard him saying something bad about chicken parms, so I slashed him in the legs. Next scrimmage he shot it on goal, and it was a hard shot. Maybe it's all in my head, but it might have been targeted for my nuts. I have been sore every since, and I am hoping it does not effect my game. What I have done to recover is eat chicken parms, and I think it might be helping. Chicken parms can cure everything, and the training staff aren't stopping me so I think they can easily agree. As far as Driftwood goes, if he did it on purpose, I think I can forgive him.

The training staff on the San Francisco Pride are top notch and Dom has gotten to know them well after a game and during his time off. Shout out to Karen and Murphy for their commitment to the team and for their wild life experience stories. For a defenseman, he has been pretty lucky to not get any major injuries during his time in the SHL and SMJHL and in fact has never missed a game, but his solid back and four million dollar knees often hurt quite a bit after a couple weeks into the regular season. He deals with the pain by being committed to his healing and stretching exercises put forth by the training staff and by doing ice baths when his calves are hurting sometimes, too. He also partakes in the occasional alcoholic drink when the pain from losing a game is too much, but he's also got much healthier ways to take out his psychological pain.

What hurts you say? Well let me tell you. My peepee hurts.

On a serious note though, i am surprisingly well. I keep getting hit very awkwardly and even if i put myself in dangerous situations each and every game i don't get injured. I don't know if it's because of all the training i've done in the training camps or if my body has just grown to the point where i can't get hurt anymore. All my injuries went away the second i was drafted. Since then i dont even get burnt when i eat hot food. I even tried drinking coffee straight from the machine and i still dont get hurt. I've often thought about this ever since the draft, perhaps if we were to draft people with terminal diseases they would get cured? Got a crooked spine? Get drafted fool! This league truly is a magical place where people just can't get sick or hurt.

Please explain.

Alexis Metzler has been fairly lucky with injuries- nothing more than a broken finger or two. Unfortunately, in S50, this seems to have changed; Metzler is putting up his worst season at any level. Unfortunately, this is from an injury he got very early in the season; he went into the boards had and screwed up his back. Alexis is electing to play through it, just in a much smaller role as an unofficial 3rd pairing defender. The lesser role leaves him less likely to screw things up further, but doesn't completely alleviate the risk; he just doesn't want to sit so late in his career.

In the meantime, the injury is being managed on a game by game basis. There's no ice baths; there's still a filing cabinet in the one in Buffalo's training arena, and official rinks don't have them. He's mostly getting by with an awful lot of Deep Heat and regular physio attention. He's hoping to find a quick fix that lets him return to form for playoffs, but if he can't find one, he'll just rehab like what everyone else does in the off season.

All season I've been dealing with a nagging knee injury. It started in training camp and everything has just been feeling slightly off since then. The play itself wa pretty routine, but I just got caught up in someone else stick while having my leg planted, and nothing has been quite right since. I've been trying anything I could get my hands on to make this feel better. Freezing sprays, braces, leeches, you name it and I've tried it.

It's been tough to play through th epain though it has gotten slightly better as the season goes on. The best help I've found so far is making sure to crush a couple Izzy dogs before every game. They've given me the energy I need to ignore the pain and get on the ice. My physiotherapist might want to take some of the credit for this fix, but I don't think he understands or is willing to admit the healing power of those dogs

Borromini Cannellini's shooting wrists are in a lot of pain lately, and that is why he has been unable to score as of late. He injured them when he was typing out a long dissertation that nobody is going to read about how hockey is all the things good and everything else is bad, so that kids can play hockey and we can get a better talent pool in the SHL. He was typing for so long that he didn't notice his wrists start to give way from all the typing that he was doing, something that he rarely did during his playing career. Now that he tried to pump up hockey through the power of words he is playing worse and worse, and that will teach him that it makes no sense to write anything out yourself as a hockey player when you could just dictate to someone and have them write it. There is no risk to you whatsoever by doing this.

Oliver Cleary has spent the season dealing with the effects of a fractured shoulder. Injured while off-season training, this has limited Cleary's offensive abilities this season while trying to fight off the aftereffects of surgery. Other than the off-season surgery, Cleary has been on a wealth of painkillers in order to deal with the pain. All we're prescribed by a team doctor and regimented as such so that abuse is not possible. He has specific regiments for both gameday as well as off days so that he can deal with pain during games and outside of games differently. The pain has thankfully gotten better as the season as gone on. The injury was an injury in which he could play through which has been a huge advantage for both the player and the team. But as the season as gone on, Cleary has been getting better in both zones and it has a lot to do with the recover going smoothly. It looks like additional surgery will not be needed in the future.

While maybe not a physical pain, certainly an emotional/psychological pain has been lingering with Nick for the most part of his SMJHL career thus far. Picked in the first round by Anaheim, Nick currently hasn’t exactly lived up to the hype of such a high pick. No doubt one of the most talented players in the league right now, but he just can’t seem to put it all together. Underperforming in points seemingly each season one has to wonder how much of a toll it would take on his mental. The answer is: a lot. Maybe the added pressure of being the Captain the past few seasons has put more stress on him than he’s comfortable with, but if he can’t succeed due to stress in the minors there’s no way he’ll be able to perform at his ability level in the pros. So in summation, the biggest pain Nick has had to deal with is his shattered ego.

On the Manhattan Rage team David Vent is a know hitter and goon. The man sticks up for his team by laying the body and fitting other opposing players to get his team an edge. However, this lifestyle leaves Vent a battered and bruised man after games. Vent basically sees the team trainers everyday to get soreness out and to make sure he gets back healthy for his job every night. To help combat the pain Vent spends time getting stretched out by trainers and getting treatment. Vent’s shoulders and upper body take most of the pain so getting into ice baths after games and receiving treatment on his shoulders is a must throughout the season. Also, a lot of it Vent just has to deal with because the hockey schedule is brutal and he’s always going to feel uncomfortable with the bruises and soreness. It’s Vent’s job however to be a physical person so he will put up with the aches and pains if it means he’s doing his part for the team.

Everything hurts. My legs, my head, my face. When I switched from forward to defense this past off-season my coach requested that I learn to contort my body to be more flexible to play the position of defense. I decided that this was way too much work and opted for surgery, the surgery took bones out of my face and leg and added them to my shoulders to give me a larger frame and allow me to play more physical, this somehow caused my checking to get worse but my overall strength to get better when I made the change. Unfortunately, my doctor now says it is very likely that I end up in a wheelchair by the age of 30. I am now millions in debt from this surgery and as the SHL has no pension plan I'm now completely screwed. The SHL needs a union to protect players like me who give it all to the game of hockey. The people who run this league act like they want it to be a realistic experience by banning players playing 26+ minutes but don't even have a pension plan in place so people like me can make money after retirement. What a league.
