A bus has crashed in Illinois today, while carrying a semi-pro hockey team, which includes a former Wellington Duke.
Rusty Hafner and the Columbus Cottonmouths were on their way to Peoria, to take on the Rivermen, when their bus crashed about 20 miles from their destination.
Team staff say none of the players were seriously injured, but the whole team was taken to hospital for evaluation.
Hafner played 35 games with Wellington during the 2010/2011 season, before playing four seasons at Bowling Green State University and is now in his second season with the Cottonmouths.
