(KARE11) – On Sunday, Jason Jensen returned to the ice rink at the Victoria Recreation Center for the first time in two months. As a goalie coach for the Holy Family Catholic High School boys and girls hockey programs, the arena is a place he’d spent much of his time. “It’s kind of like a home away from home,” he said.
Jensen has coached and youth and high school hockey for approximately 15 years. He is grateful to be back, Jensen said, after spending two months in the hospital as he recovered from a traumatic brain injury.
During a Holy Family girls hockey practice on January 31, Jensen was accidentally hit by one of the players, causing him to fall and hit his head on the ice. He wasn’t wearing a helmet, which made his injuries more severe. CONTINUE
