For ice hockey Hall of Famer Chris Pronger, Damar Hamlin's collapse on the field during an NFL game on Monday night resonated heavily — it brought back a difficult memory for Pronger, who collapsed on the ice in 1998 during a Stanley Cup playoff game.
Thursday morning he was"making steady progress" while still hospitalized in critical condition.
"Per the physicians caring for Damar Hamlin at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, Damar has shown remarkable improvement over the past 24 hours," the Bills said."While still critically ill, he has demonstrated that he appears to be neurologically intact. His lungs continue to heal and he is making steady progress."
Pronger said it's difficult to account for accidents like these, but it's important to evaluate player safety when they occur. "After my incident in Detroit, they moved the doctors closer to the benches," he said."In one-off situations, you've got to learn from those and figure out, is there anything we're missing?"
