The Kitchener Rangers Hockey Club has been informed that Ben Fanelli was released from Hamilton General Hospital late last night."This is obviously an emotional day for the Fanelli family, our organization and community and really for the entire Ontario Hockey League's players and fans. It is still very early in Ben's recovery that will include out-patient treatments at the hospital along with additional supporting treatments at home" stated Rangers C.O.O., Steve Bienkowski.
Ben's mother, Susan Fanelli conveyed the following, "the support from the Kitchener Rangers organization has been wonderful. We are so appreciative it is hard to express."
Restrictions on visiting will remain in effect.
The Kitchener Rangers Hockey Club and the Fanelli family ask that the family's past requests for privacy continue to be honoured.
