Red Wings affiliate stretchered off the ice after a horrific collision
Detroit Red Wings-affiliated player Tyler Spezia was stretchered off the ice last night after a collision with one of his teammates, Cross Hanas during an AHL game last night.
It was a scary scene last night when 30-year-old Detroit Red Wings affiliate Tyler Spezia took a hard collision with his teammate Cross Hanas during a match with the Chicago Wolves. The collision resulted in Spezia requiring immediate medical service and he was stretchered off the ice.
A stretcher is being brought out and Tyler Spezia is still down after a collision.
Obviously we will not post any video or pictures until we know what's going on.
Luckily, this was not a worst-case scenario situation as Spezia was able to move his extremities.
Some good news: Tyler Spezia has movement in his extremities. He's been taken to the hospital as a precaution
Keeping Tyler in our thoughts ❤️
The Grand Rapids Griffins released an official statement on Spezia later last night.
Tyler Spezia was injured during the first period of tonight's game in Chicago and taken to a local hospital. He is awake, alert, and doing well while awaiting more tests and undergoing precautionary measures. Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers, Griffins Nation!
Spezia was never drafted into the NHL but over the course of his career, he has worked through the NCAA, ECHL, and AHL throughout his professional hockey career. He has been affiliated with the Red Wings for the past six years.
We still await official word on the true extent of Spezia's injury but we wish him nothing but the best on his road to recovery!
