My dad told me about this, on the way to work.. he passed by the bus.

I used to watch these guys all the time. They were the Devils farm team, now they are the Hurricanes Farm team.

BECKET, Mass. - Three players and employees of the Albany River Rats were seriously injured this morning after their team bus slid in snow and rolled on the Massachusetts Turnpike just before 3:30 a.m., Massachusetts State Police said.

The injured people are a mix of players and team employees, Rats coach Jeff Daniels said, but declined to identify any of them until families can be contacted.

Police describe the injures as serious, but Daniels said they did not appear to be life threatening.

"We were very fortunate and lucky," Daniels said.

BECKET, Mass. - The River Rats are back in Albany after their team bus slid off of the Massachusetts Turnpike early this morning, leaving four hockey players and the team's radio commentator hospitalized with serious injuries. b?P=6dd16022-fec9-11dd-ad35-bb657b60dffd&T=1994jlet9%2fX%3d1235077697%2fE%3d2022775850%2fR%3dncnws%2fK%3d5%2fV%3d8.1%2fW%3d0%2fY%3dPARTNER_US%2fF%3d4149821557%2fH%3dYWx0c3BpZD0iOTY3MjgzMTUxIiBzZXJ2ZUlkPSI2ZGQxNjAyMi1mZWM5LTExZGQtYWQzNS1iYjY1N2I2MGRmZmQiIHNpdGVJZD0iOTIxMDUxIiB0U3RtcD0iMTIzNTA3NzY5NzUyOTcwMiIgdGFyZ2V0PSJfdG9wIiA-%2fQ%3d-1%2fS%3d1%2fJ%3d20558862&U=13ufsel9s%2fN%3dfmIUAWKIVL0-%2fC%3d600038439.600042210.400246511.400246511%2fD%3dLREC%2fB%3d1719045675483142928%2fV%3d2 Weary and wounded hockey players walked gingerly off the bus when it arrived at the Times Union Center at 11:03 a.m.

Teammates Nicolas Blanchard, Joe Jensen, Casey Borer, Jonathan Paiement, and radio commentator John Hennessy remained behind at the Berkshire Medical Center for treatment, Rats Head Coach Jeff Daniels said.

Owen Newkirk, the team's broadcaster and communications director, reached by phone at the hospital, said he had a slight concussion but otherwise was all right. He said he crawled through a window to escape the wreckage.

The Massachusetts Turnpike can be treacherous in winter weather. The highway peaks at 1,724 feet above sea level, Interstate 90's highest elevation until South Dakota, just miles from the accident site.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
