Two of the players, 19-year-old goaltender Joey Perricone of San Juan Capistrano, California and 18-year-old forward Carter Smith of Eyebrow, SK suffered minor injuries and were released from hospital in Moose Jaw earlier this morning.

The third player involved in the accident, 18-year-old forward Garrett Robinson of Surrey, BC, sustained serious head injuries and is in critical condition in the Intensive Care Unit at Regina General Hospital.
