CALGARY – Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving delivered some hopeful news Friday morning, telling reporters during a press conference that T.J. Brodie is “doing well” in his recovery from a scary on-ice incident during practice.
On Thursday, Brodie collapsed on the ice during practice and began convulsing as teammates and staff rushed to attend to him. He was alert and responsive on the ice when first responders arrived and was stretchered off the ice and taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
Dr. Ian Auld told reporters that it’s likely Brodie’s episode was due to a fainting episode. Brodie will now undergo a series of tests to determine the cause of the episode, noting that many serious causes have already been ruled out.
The Flames announced later on Thursday that Brodie was discharged from the hospital after a series of tests and was able to continue recovering at home with his family.
Brodie will continue to undergo tests, with no timeline set for his return.
