Sign get well soon cards tonight.
While Jon Pelle looks forward to being back on the ice for the Rapid City Rush, he's more concerned about a fellow player, on a different team.
Pelle is midway through a 12-game suspension issued by Central Hockey League for a hard hit that left Arizona Sundogs forward Chad Hinz with a fractured vertebrae in his neck.
"Chad's health is what's important here. It's not about me," Pelle said. "I'll serve the suspension and then I'll come back. All that matters right now is that he's going to be OK."
The RCR Booster Club agrees. We have purchased get well soon cards for Chad. Sign the cards this Wednesday February 24th at our Booster Club booth behind Section O. We will send the cards with the AZ team tonight.
Follow up: The cards were handed over to the coach of the AZ Sundogs.
