Tragic Accident Leaves Olympic Hockey Medalist Paralyzed
Sanni Hakala, the recipient of two Olympic bronze medals with Team Finland, suffered a serious injury when she went headfirst into the post early in a game in the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL) on Friday. She was promptly rushed to the hospital.
