auxlepli 17 Report post Posted August 22, 2008 Former soldier plays hockey on one leg and a prosthetic leg. http://www.defenselink.mil/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=49592 Gotta love his desire in wanting to play hockey again. Bowser said he arrived at Walter Reed Army Medical Center here about a week after being wounded. The doctors thought he would have more mobility with a prosthetic leg, he recalled, rather than by keeping his mangled limb. “The first thing that I thought of was that I wanted to play hockey again,” Bowser said. “So, I said I wanted to have it amputated.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zata40 3 Report post Posted August 23, 2008 Prosthetics is the field I'm studying in college. You would be surprised how advanced prosthetics are getting. it's amazing. That being said, it's still very difficult to skate( or even stand on skates), let alone play hockey! He's got to have a lot of hart and dedication to do what he doing. Way to go buddy!
