The University of Denver hockey team suffered a big blow today when it learned forward Beau Bennett will be lost 6-8 weeks following surgery on a wrist.
Bennett, who missed four games earlier this season with wrist problems, underwent the surgery today. If all goes well, he should return in time for the tail end of the regular season and/or playoffs.
“Beau has courageously played the last three weeks with the wrist injury,” coach George Gwozdecky said in a statement. “However, we felt surgery was necessary for Beau’s short and long-term career. We look forward to his return to our lineup in the second half of the season.”
Bennett is a 2010 first-round draft choice of the Pittsburgh Penguins (20th overall).
