Can someone tell me the injury news on Schultz and Lawrence. Have we got an estimated return date ?
Are we ever going to see them again ?
A club statement would be useful with updates on a regularly basis (Panthers are you listening ?).

Don't know about you but I'm still waiting for an update on Mark Lee.

There was a really interesting thing on the Premier channel last night on concussion in American sport and how seriously it's being taken now due to safety and lawsuits etc

Corey mentioned in his latest interview with the Nottingham Post that the club has a policy which ensures all injuries are not made public.
I agree with it to some extent, if it's a serious head injury or bone break etc.. But i still don't understand what's so wrong with saying 'Upper/Middle/Lower Body Injury' with an estimated time frame.
I'd assume Lawrence has concussion, been moving around fine and being his normal self. Think he's getting just as stressed out as us unfortunately. Schultz i'd expect to be re-introduced in Denmark.

But i still don't understand what's so wrong with saying 'Upper/Middle/Lower Body Injury' with an estimated time frame. Agree entirely. It's not full details of the injury you want, but some idea of progress (or lack of) would be nice. I'd guess that the hockey world is fairly insular anyway, and that other teams get to know exactly what's wrong with our lot if they really want to, so really they're just withholding from us. A cynical mind, which obviously I don't possess (  ), could probably think of various reasons for them to do that... |

Most obvious ones Yotes is they dont need to replace a long term injury when a players is ready for an imminent return.. Clearly a loose definition of the word imminent...

In all seriousness, looking for a genuine answer, what is the reason why a club would not want to disclose information about an injury?
What benefit does the club see to hiding the reason?
Correct me if I'm wrong but if by example Lawrence has concussion and he was playing the NHL, that injury probably wouldn't be a secret. In fact, log onto the EliteProspects NHL homepage and you can see a fairly detailed injuries list along with expected return dates (including concussions).
I'm also pretty sure (again, any corrections welcome) that no other EIHL clubs refuse to specify what injury a player has suffered. I remember a few years ago when Rod Sarich has a percentage of his kidneys removed, Steelers kept quite close public updates on his situation.

I'd imagine they'd say something like preventing the player being targeted on the injury when they return, and/or keeping the opposition guessing about who'll be playing at the weekend.
The cynical mind (not me, remember), would probably apply the 2nd one to potential ticket buyers...

No one cares about the specifics of the injury, we just want to know when they'll be back.
Fans being mugged off for another year, don't bother going until the new year when they start taking it seriously again.
Groundhog year.

Fans being mugged off for another year, don't bother going until the new year when they start taking it seriously again. Groundhog year. Spot on. Nobody really cares about what the injury actually is.....just how long they are going to be out. Within the game,players get to know what's happening with others. Too many of them are mates,they talk to each other and it would be extremely difficult to cover up an injury purely for targeting reasons. |

surely the club spokeswoman might know? I might ring up and ask for her

The video the club released interviewing Clarkey was done whilst the team was training and you can clearly see Lawrence is on the ice with everyone, so some progress in his case at least! Why can't the club just say he's back skating though?
