In 2020, Dave was driving when another driver crossed the center line and collided head-on with his car. Dave suffered multiple fractures to his sternum, ribs, pelvis, and right lower leg. He underwent four surgeries in three days, spent six days in the ICU, and six more days in the hospital before coming home in a wheelchair. After months of healing and rehabilitation, Dave was able to get on the ice again.
Now, Dave is our trusty leader of our Hockey Heals program leading the way at Hockey Heals to help others recovering get on the ice again and helping others on their journey back on the ice.
“Hockey Heals is a safe and inclusive community where we love and support each other. Each session changes lives as we all fight for normalcy in our lives. Hockey really does heal!”
