Junior forward Holly Lorms of the Boston University women’s ice hockey team will return to campus Wednesday after suffering a neck injury during a game versus the University of Maine Saturday. She will have to wear a neck brace for a month.
“There are real good signs that she will be okay for the long-term,” said BU coach Brian Durocher. “We won’t be seeing her play hockey again this year, but she will be returning to campus.”
Lorms had been hospitalized at Boston Medical Center, where she underwent testing to decide whether she would require surgery. While it was determined that she does not need any invasive work at this time, Lorms will miss the remainder of the season.
