Go Faulk Yourself Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 http://thehockeyhouse.net/junior/qmjhl-forward-loses-finger/ Rouyn-Noranda Huskies forward and Swiss prospect Jason Fuchs lost a finger in a game against the Quebec Remparts today, after blocking a shot late in third period of the Huskies 7-3 loss. In the defensive zone, Fuchs lined himself up between a Remparts defenseman, and blocked a shot infront of the net with his hand. He immediately threw his left glove off, and noticing his fingertip was completely missing, ran to the bench to receive immediate medical attention. This is Fuchs’ first season in the QMJHL, coming over to the team after three years in Switzerland’s Elite Junior A league. He has 45 points in 57 games, and is considered one of the top undrafted Swiss prospects. He is still eligible for the upcoming 2014 NHL Entry Draft. Fuchs leaves the team only two games into their playoff series against the Remparts, with the series tied 1-1. It is not known whether he will return later in the Huskies playoff run, but it is certainly unlikely given the gruesome nature of the injury. You can't see anything particularly graphic in the video, but I'm sure it'll make you cringe either way. http://tvasports.ca/hockey/lhjmq/fuchs-victime-dun-accident-horrible-22032014 Wishing the best for Jason Fuchs. Very, very scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's Wellwood Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 So what happened to it? Did the shot knock it off so it was on the ice somewhere? Or did it basically explode inside the glove from the force of the impact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Faulk Yourself Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 So what happened to it? Did the shot knock it off so it was on the ice somewhere? Or did it basically explode inside the glove from the force of the impact? From what it looked like at the end of the video, it detached from his finger and was in his glove. Just glad they didn't show the equipment guys removing his finger at the end there. And yes, the shot knocked his finger off. That's disturbing.

TheRussianRocket. Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Ouch...that's a bad one he took for sure. Hope they can somehow patch it up and let him continue his hockey career though I'm sure this will sideline him for a while. Got to make sure if it is patchable that the same incident doesn't occur again if he gets hit there. ...very bad injury and here's to hoping for the best. One tough player that's for sure. It shows for itself when he skates by himself to the trainer in obvious pain...those are hockey players. God bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Marchand Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Read it earlier on HFBoards. That's the kind of stuff that makes you cringe, even though I've seen this kind of thing happen before. Hopefully he's able to return to the lineup at some point this season or next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 So what happened to it? Did the shot knock it off so it was on the ice somewhere? Or did it basically explode inside the glove from the force of the impact? Is that a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck or Die Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Okay, is it his fingertip, or his entire finger? It says fingertip in the article, yet some of you are saying his finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gumballthechewy Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 That's messed up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 At least it's his lower hand, but this is still career-threatening. All he probably cares about is being able to play 100% hockey again. Two questions: Can he put it back on and get some mobility back? And is his draft stock going to fall because of this?

GoaltenderInterference Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I hope this is as minor as Henrik Sedin losing a fingertip. Good luck to him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I took a shot off the end of my finger once, but it only really caught the fingernail and ripped that off. My finger was fine otherwise, this guy wasn't quite as lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABNuck Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Didn't Wilson (Chicago) blast a guys finger off on St.Louis back in the day? I think it was one of the brothers on St.Louis. Okay now I gotta look that one up. Be right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABNuck Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Just found it. It was in a game between CHI-STL in DEC 1990. Wilson took the shot, Paul Cavallini (brother was Gino on the same team) lost the tip of his finger (trainer found it inside his glove. Ahhh those were the days...
