For the first time since the injury, Sam Savoie has spoken to the public about what happened and how he is doing.
Here is his message translated:
"Hello everyone, it's Sam Savoie. Things are going better today, I made it through surgery, and I'm feeling a lot better. I want to thank all of you for the messages and support you've sent to me. Thank you." -Samuel Savoie
It is encouraging to see him recovering quickly and in good spirits. Hopefully, he can grow from this experience and one day make the NHL with the Blackhawks.
