No one ever wants to see a player injured, and tonight in a game between the Ottawa 67's and Kingston Frontenacs, a player was taken off the ice injured on a stretcher.

A hit occured in the first period of the game which involved Montreal Canadiens prospect Vinzenz Rohrer, and as he flew in the air, he landed directly on his head/neck.

Many have reported that he was convulsing while on the ice.

Hoping for the best for Ottawa 67's Vinzenz Rohrer. He had to be stretchered off the ice. Scary scene.� Mark Scheig (@mark_scheig) January 12, 2023

Vinzenz has been taken to hospital, he was moving and generally okay. Thoughts still with Vini and his family.� Kenny Walls (@LongBallsWalls) January 12, 2023

Vinzenz Rohrer is a third round pick by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, and has been having a very good season for the Ottawa 67's. Let's hope everything is alright and he can make a full recovery.

Doesn't look as bad from this angle, still unfortunate but I think it could've been way worse pic.twitter.com/l5PpyezoRB� Alex Jodoin (@colegoalfield) January 12, 2023
