Tuesday night saw a frightening incident in the American Hockey League, with Kale Kessy of the Hershey Bears (the Washington Capitals’ AHL affiliate) stretchered off after losing consciousness following a fight with Derek Sheppard during the second period of a game against the Charlotte Checkers. Kessy was laying on the ice for several minutes before being stretchered off. Here are some photos and videos of what happened:
The team updated that Kessy was “alert, and in stable condition, and being transported to a local medical facility.”
That’s certainly a scary situation. Here’s hoping that Kessy is okay.
