Rochester Americans News Release
(Rochester, NY)... The Rochester Americans announced today that defenseman Evan Oberg will miss the remainder of the 2010-11 American Hockey League after suffering a neck injury in the third period of Rochester's game against the Hamilton Bulldogs on Sunday, March 13th at Copps Coliseum.
"Unfortunately, Evan injured his neck as a result of the hit from behind on Sunday," said Amerks Head Coach Chuck Weber. "Evan is in good spirits and is moving around on his own.
