Sophomore center Corey Trivino is expected to miss the remainder of the season with a fractured right fibula, according to No. 19 Boston University men’s hockey coach Jack Parker.
“We’re probably going to be missing him for the whole year,” Parker said. “If we ever got to Detroit [for the Frozen Four], he might be able to come back for that.”
Trivino is already in a cast, and Parker said he thought Trivino might be able to resume skating as soon as mid to late March.
The injury was initially reported by Parker as a high-ankle sprain &-&- an injury that likely would have allowed Trivino to play again at some point this season, but also could have been more harmful to his long-term development.
“There should be no long-term ramifications,” Parker said. “That bone heals easiliy &-&- it’s a non-weight bearing bone. It’s almost better than the high-ankle sprain except that he’ll be out the whole year. The injury itself will heal better than a nagging high-ankle sprain.”
Trivino suffered the injury in the third period of the Terriers’ 5-2 win over the University of Maine on Saturday night when Black Bear defenseman Jeff Dimmen sent him feet-first into the end boards with a hard body check.
Earlier in the game, Trivino netted his fourth goal of the season when he collected a loose puck in the right side of the slot and beat Maine goalie Scott Darling stick-side with a quick snap shot.
Trivino ranks ninth on BU with 15 points, and Parker has praised him throughout the second semester for his great work on defense, as his line has consistently been matched up against opponents’ top offensive units.
