Major Injury Alert

[Grape 676]

The Ottawa Lynx Medical Center has regretfully informed the media of a major injury to a star player. Alex Carlson, The Lynx’s 7th round pick, 69th overall, has suffered a severe Achilles injury during practice, and will be sidelined for the entire season. In a discussion with the front office, a mutual decision has been made to cut Carlson and allow him to retire. With this being the second major Achilles injury this player has suffered, Carlson decided it would be best to hang up the skates for now and pursue their true passion, whatever that may be. Carlson is currently on-route to Houston, in which he stated that he “felt immense comfort being in that city”. He discussed how when he first came over to play in the VHLM with a waiver signing in Houston, the people and the team were extremely welcoming to him, and that it felt like a “second home”. What the future holds for Alex Carlson, we do not know, but the Ottawa Lynx wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
