Squirrels defenseman and veteran hockey player Jon Magi has opted for surgery to repair an ACL tear. He doesn’t expect to be playing until the fall ice season at the earliest, which means he’ll miss the summer roller and ice season. Magi has already missed the last several games, and the Squirrels dearly miss him out on the ice. He injured his knee while skiiing in Aspen during the first week of February.
The Squirrels have already found a replacement for him on the roller squad. Ice sniper Wade Marks will be joining the team, while also remaining on the ice roster. Wade is the brother of longtime Squirrels player Don Marks, and is currently the ice team’s co-leader in goals-scored with his brother.
The Squirrels now have two sets of brothers on the roller team, the Marks brothers, and the Richelsons, Desi and Tony.
