Great story and WOW. I am impressed with the man's drive to walk again and try to have a normal life once again. He obviously takes the long-road of rehabbing from his injuries as seriously as he did an opposing forward coming into the defensive zone.

Just wonderful. Simply wonderful.

If he would ever walk out on the ice at the Joe again....no words.
