The Moose lost defenceman Leon Gawanke in the 2nd period of their game against the Senators on Saturday when he was hit in the head by the Senators Joseph LaBate. As you can see here it was a pretty brutal hit targeting a player in a defenseless position:

I’ve been told that the second year pro is currently in concussion protocol.

Gawanke has four assists in 12 games for Manitoba.

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
