The University of Denver says forward Jesse Martin suffered three neck fractures during a game at North Dakota.
A university statement says Martin was taken to a Minneapolis hospital Saturday for testing.
Aaron Leu, the university’s associate director of sports medicine, says in the statement Sunday that Martin has feeling in his extremities and will undergo further testing to determine if surgery is required.
Martin was hit by North Dakota forward Brad Malone in the second period.
Martin’s father, Terry Martin, tells The Denver Post that his son was knocked unconscious and had no use of his extremities for several minutes.
