ROCHESTER, Minn. (AP) — A hockey player from Minnesota who suffered a spinal cord injury in a game has left an Illinois hospital to continue his rehabilitation at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
In a statement released Tuesday by the Mayo Clinic, Matt Olson's parents said he left Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, Illinois, on April 8 to continue his rehab at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester.
Olson, a junior league defenseman with the Chicago Cougars, was hurt during a February game at the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates.
