Ville Heinola: in gougouns on the ice rink, eight weeks after a fractured ankle – Canada Boosts

Ville Heinola is likely one of the Winnipeg Jets’ brightest prospects.

The offensive-minded defenseman was chosen twentieth total by Winnipeg within the 2019 draft, and after shuttling forwards and backwards between the NHL and AHL in recent times, he appears prepared to seek out his area of interest within the large leagues.

Heinola was actually good final 12 months with the Jets’ coaching membership (37 factors in 48 video games) and had coaching camp, however a nasty ankle fracture bought in the way in which.

The 22-year-old was injured in a sport on October 5 and was initially scheduled to overlook as much as two to a few months resulting from surgical procedure.

And Heinola was noticed on the ice in Winnipeg this morning. He wasn’t wearing his gear: he was on foot, in his gougounes, maneuvering pucks on the ice to check his ankle.

I repeat. He was on the ice IN GOUGOUNES, eight weeks after breaking his ankle.

That’s a bit a lot, isn’t it?

Who on the Jets gave Heinola the inexperienced mild to board the rink in sandals?

That’s what I’m questioning, in any case. I’m not a health care provider, however I’ve a tough time imagining that it is a apply really useful by the crew docs in Winnipeg…

Think about if we noticed Kirby Dach on the Bell Centre ice in a month’s time, frolicking with pucks in gougounes or Crocs… Despite the fact that he’s not 100% recovered from his damage.

Information flash: it could be fairly a circus.

Not less than – and I imply a minimum of – Heinola didn’t fall on the ice whereas doing his little manoeuvres. As a result of that, too, would have been the speak of the city.

In a gust

– It’s shaking!

– Yikes.
