03-02-98 Maine Loses Kariya To Collapsed Lung, Price To Major Juniors
University of Maine junior winger Steve Kariya remained hospitalized
Monday with a
collapsed lung suffered early in Maine's Feb. 28 game against the
University of
Nebraska-Omaha. Kariya, the nation's 11th-leading scorer with
23-23--46 in 30 games,
was hit while holding his breath, resulting in the puncture.
He is expected to be out for this week's action, but is probable for
the playoffs if
the lung seals itself soon, which, according to doctors, happens in 98
percent of all
cases. If not, however, Kariya could miss the playoffs.
Maine will also play the remainder of the season without sophomore
defenseman Jason
Price, who departed the team after Saturday's game to play major
junior hockey in
Canada. Price had 1-6--7 in 22 games for the Black Bears this year.
