From the Youngstown Vindicator:
A Youngstown Steelhound hockey player was seriously burned Thursday evening when the lawn mower that he was riding exploded.
Jason Baird, 27, of Cayuga, Ontario, was cutting grass for a part-time employer at the Westchester apartment complex near the intersection of Route 11 and Mahoning Avenue when the accident occurred.
He is listed in critical condition at the Akron Burn Center.
I know all hockey fans wish the very best for Jason. Komet fans know how tough players are. Jason is one of those very tough guys. We all pray for his recovery. May God bless his wife and children in their time of need.
