University of Mary college hockey player who suffered fractured skull won’t play again

An innocent-looking on-ice accident has ended the career of University of Mary hockey player Michael Heitkamp, who suffered a skull fracture during a collision with a Minot State skater on Oct. 31. What first looked like a simple cut turned out to require emergency surgery, and donations are now pouring in to help with medical costs. As Heitkamp recovers, his teammates and coaches say his presence — and resilience — continue to shape the program, even as he shifts from player to mentor. Rob Beer with InForum has the full story.
