Kirby Dach shared disgusting detail on his wrist injury live on TSN

As you know, Team Canada captain Kirby Dach is out of the 2021 World Juniors after suffering a wrist injury in Wednesday’s pre-tournament game against Russia. The Blackhawks talented prospect headed back to Chicago to undergo further examination by team doctors and underwent surgery for his gruesome injury. 

He was interviewed by James Duthie during the second intermission of the game between Canada and Switzerland on Tuesday night as TSN checked in to see how the prospect was doing after undergoing surgery. 

While he is doing much better than expected, Dach still feels upset about missing the World Junior Championship and a big part of the upcoming season in the NHL. 

As he talked about the injury, Dach revealed some disgusting detail on how it went down. He got injured on a harmless bodycheck in the neutral zone in the third period of the preliminary game against Russia on Wednesday night. Right after contact, the young captain pulled off his glove, skated off the ice and went directly to the locker-room area. During his interview, Dach revealed that he heard a sound and thought he had broken his stick, but it was in fact his wrist. 

And it ended up looking like this before he underwent surgery. 

This is heartbreaking for Dach who was so excited to represent his country for the first time as he was not loaned to the team when the Canadians captured gold last year in the Czech Republic. The Blackhawks are now struggling on depth without his services on top of losing captain Jonathan Toews who announced today he would miss the season with an unknown illness. 

What a terrible blow.
