  1. Saar had a concussion and a broken orbital bone from his fight with Woody Hudson from the Indiana Ice. He will make his Des Moines Buccaneer debut this Friday.

  2. Thanks for the tip, always tough to find that stuff out. Rough year for some of these guys with injuries...Luke Juha also had a concussion at the beginning of the year and now has a broken wrist. Jon Milley's finally close to coming back. Reed Linaker's still undecided re: surgery. He might be back for the AJHL playoffs, or he might be done for the year.
