Re: UNH Recruits: 2012-2016
16-year-old Marcus Vela (DOB: 3-3-1997) is a 6'2", 190 lbs., right shot forward for the Langley Rivermen. Last season, he scored 25 goals and 55 assists in 30 games with the Burnaby (British Columbia) Bulldogs, AAA Minor Midget team. Rivermen Assistant Coach says his game is "similar to the likes of Cam Neely."
It's a small world - former UNH recruit and current Denver University defenseman Joey Laleggia is also from Burnaby, BC.Last edited by C-H-C; 09-25-2013, 07:39 PM.

"Final straw: After near tragedy, junior hockey must stop the fight." by Chris Peters
This near tragedy happened to 2014 UNH recruit Dylan Chanter in a USHL game. I completely agree with Mr. Peters.

Dr. Michael J. Stuart of the Mayo Clinic and chief medical officer for USA Hockey. said Sunday that Chanter’s injury came very close to
“exactly what we as researchers feared. Blows to the head from fists, and hitting your head on the ice from an unprotected fall with or without a helmet, can result in catastrophic injury or even death. The time to stop fighting in junior hockey is now.”

Mike,
Given the severity of the injury and the re-occurring issues that can happen with concussions, what's Dylan Chanter's prognosis? Is there concern that he may never play another game again, junior or collegiate?UNH

Chanter was conscious and moving when he was placed on the stretcher at rinkside. Immediately after he was wheeled out of the arena, he was brought by ambulance to St Luke's Hospital in Cedar Rapids. Initial tests and a CT scan showed no immediate concerns but he was airlifted to the University of Iowa Hospital in Iowa City for further evaluation by a neurologist and observation.
Dylan was released from the University of Iowa Hospital later Saturday evening. No further medical information (e.g., neurologist's evaluation, possible prescriptions, etc) have been released to the press.
Just after midnight, Dylan tweeted "Wanted to let everyone know I'm awake and okay." He returned to Dubuque early Sunday morning.
Experts who have commented on the incident involving Chanter believe it is fortunate that a catastrophic injury or even death did not occur.
According to the Dubuque Fighting Saints, Dylan was resting at his residence in Dubuque, Iowa, under the observation of the team trainer. Earlier today, he stopped by the team's arena and visited with his teammates.
To date, there have been no public comments, from either medical staff or members of the hockey community, about Dylan's long term prognosis. In his most recent tweet, Dylan included the following hash tag: #roadtorecovery.Last edited by C-H-C; 10-15-2013, 08:07 PM.

Re: UNH Recruits: 2012-2016
My thoughts are with Dylan and his health going forward. I suffered multiple concussions as a teenager and have lived with the hidden after effects ever since. Unfortuantely you often only become aware of their full effect until the following years. Hopefully those involved are cautious with Dylan's return to the ice.
