It's no secret that the UMass hockey team has seen a rash of injuries at the most inopportune time of the season. But there is some relief in sight for the Minutemen. Three of their four injured players practiced on Tuesday.
The one notable exception yesterday was goaltender Jon Quick. After being injured against Northeastern on Feb. 23, he sat out that Sunday in Boston. Quick returned to lead UMass past Maine and was named the Hockey East player of the week this week. UMass coach Don Cahoon did not elaborate on Quick's condition or whether he'll play in the quaterfinals this weekend.
Defensemen Martin Nolet and Topher Bevis were back wearing the defense's usual black practice sweater. Zech Klann was the only skater in yellow, which leads me to assume it meant he was barred from contact. Nolet and Bevis practicing has to be a welcomed sign for a team desperately in need of healthy defensemen.
