Nine Month Update.........


Well due to forgetting my password, I have not updated Devin's blog since December.   The Otters ended the season slightly better than 2011-12, coming in second to last instead of last place in the league.  Devin also came home extremely sore and, after doing some investigating, it was suspected he had a sports hernia.  Given that the best sports hernia physician was in Philadelphia, PA, we drove twelve hours leaving on a Sunday, July 22nd, he was diagnosed on Monday, surgery on Tuesday and at 1:00 a.m. in the morning we drove another twelve hours home.  He has done remarkably well, worked hard; however, was unable to participate in training camp.   He began taking shots again two weeks before the end of the preseason and played the last preseason game, Otters winning 4-2.  He now feels the best he has felt in a year and a half, having played that long on the injury.  Devin made the NHL futures list for players eligible for the 2014 draft next June.  The Otters first regular season game is tonight; however, most likely Dansk will start in net.  Will keep the blog updated for the season.
