Fischtown’s Christian Wejse Suffers Skate Cut to Face, Leaves Hospital the Same Night

Team officials say the injury is not severe, with further tests to determine his return timeline.

Overview

  • During Bremerhaven’s game against Kölner Haie, Wejse was struck in the face by an opponent’s skate in the 31st minute and taken to a clinic.
  • The club said he was discharged the same evening and described the injury as non-severe, pending additional examinations on Monday.
  • Teammates formed a shield as responders brought a stretcher onto the ice, where a large bloodstain was visible.
  • Play was halted with an early intermission, then resumed after ice work, and the game finished 5:2 for Kölner Haie.
  • Manager Sebastian Furchner expressed relief, a reaction shaped by Wejse’s serious facial injury in early 2024.
