Interesting info in the article: http://www.courant.com/sports/college/hc-uconn-hockey-0916-20150915-story.html
>>Nichols, a junior from Dallas, had surgery on both hips (one in April, one in May) to address torn labrums and impingements and is not cleared for 100 percent participation. The procedure is relatively common for goalies to have at one point in their career.
Last week, Nichols began hitting the ice in pads – as in, going down, butterfly style – and he isn't yet skating on consecutive days. Thursday will mark 16 weeks since the second procedure and full rehabilitation was expected to take 4-5 months.<<
