# James McEwan’s season may be over. The 20 year-old captain of the Kelowna Rockets is undergoing surgery in Vancouver this morning after suffering a sever cut to his forearm in last night’s game against the Vancouver Giants. McEwan’s arm was cut during a 1st period fight with Giants enforcer Garet Hunt. It’s uncertain if McEwan was cut by the skate blade of Hunt or the linesman as the two fell to the ice. McEwan originally went to the penalty box after the tilt was over, and then noticed the severity of the cut, and was rushed to the hospital. Only surgery today will determine if any tendons were cut in the unfortunate accident. The injury came while McEwan was celebrating his 200th WHL game.

# It was nothing unusual to see McEwan and Hunt fighting in last night’s game. It was the 6th time the two have squared off in just two short seasons.

Unfortunate bad break for McEwan. Hopefully it isn't too serious and he can get back before the end of the year.

I also wanted to echo the comments of Regan about Colin Joe stepping up to Garet Hunt after Hunt crushed MacRae.

For a non-fighter to stand up for his team mate against a guy like Hunt, and drop his helmet showed a lot of guts. Even though he got knocked down, a big kudos from this hockey fan to Colin Joe.
