With the fast-paced nature of modern society tragedies may receive a lot of attention initially, but what most people don’t see is the recovery process that follows.
Kaleb Dahlgren was one of the 13 survivors but he suffered severe injuries including a skull fracture, a puncture wound push into his skull, two fractured cervical vertebrae and four fractured vertebrae in his back. Doctors had predicted a far worse outcome after doing tests on the severity of injuries – according to the Saskatoon Star Pheonix, Mark Dahlgren explained that based on the pictures the doctors had, similar cases only have a three to five percent chance of healthy recovery.
Now, the Humboldt Broncos are sharing videos of him on his road back to hockey, and it’s already impressive.
Dahlgren’s still got the mitts that helped him put up 32 points in 48 games for the Broncos in the 2017-18 season but crash or no crash, this was Dahlgren’s last year in junior hockey. He has recently posted about his final junior season and has thanked everyone for the support since the crash.
It’s amazing to see how he’s recovered already and it’s been just over a month.
