Glass Heading For Additional Surgery



Steven Glass was the biggest reason the CanElson Drilling Estevan Bruins were able to defeat the Notre Dame Hounds last season in the Survivor Series. After a successful rookie campaign was hopeful to enjoy an even better sophomore season but unfortunately it will be awhile before Glass starts for the Bruins.

Near the end of the regular season while playing in Humboldt, Glass suffered a knee injury that kept him out of the lineup for parts of the final weeks of the regular season. Glass was able to return to the lineup for the postseason, but once the Bruins were eliminated from the playoffs, Glass was set to have surgery on his knee.

Glass had his surgery at the end of May was scheduled to be fully recovered within 6-8 weeks. But after returning to the ice in August, Glass was feeling discomfort in his knee and after sitting for the entire preseason he has decided to go for further surgery. At this point Glass is out of the Bruins lineup indefinitely. The only healthy goalie in the Bruins lineup is Travis Pelletier and Bruins Head Coach Keith Cassidy has said they will be looking to add a goalie while Glass is out of the lineup.

Glass admits it has been a frustrating experience recovering from knee surgery but he's doing his best to stay positive and is working as hard as he can to get back in the Bruins lineup.

One the luxuries that Glass should enjoy this season when returns to the lineup is an improved blueline. With Austin Yano, Tyler Kauk, Connor Milligan and others returning to the lineup Glass is looking forward to having all those players along with the rookies play in front of him.

When Glass does return to the lineup, he wants to make sure that he has a fast start his season. He says that he will be working hard to get back into game shape and is hoping he can have a strong finish to his season.

With a lot of veterans back in the Bruins lineup along with a strong rookie class, the Bruins are looking to make a run in the postseason. Glass believes the Bruins have the makings of a strong season but says that team has hard on being consistent for the entire season.

Glass discusses his upcoming surgery.
