Sarah Nurse Injured and Added to Long Term Injury List
Sarah Nurse of the Sceptres has been placed on the long term injury list due to a lower body injury, leading the team to sign Laura Kluge for the remainder of the season.
The tough news is going to hurt with Sarah Nurse, one of the Sceptres' leading scorers, being placed on the long term injury list with a lower body injury she suffered during a Rivalry Series game against the United States on Feb. 6 in Halifax.
Nurse, who also plays a leading role on Canada's national team, collided with Jesse Compher of the U.S. (her teammate on the Sceptres) and did not return to the ice.
She sat out Canada's series-clinching win in Summerside, P.E.I., two nights later.
Nurse is third on the team in scoring with five points and seven assists, a point back of both Hannah Miller and Renata Fast.
With an open spot on the roster, the team announced it has signed German forward Laura Kluge to a Standard Player Agreement for the remainder of the season.
