TORONTO - Connor McDavid will be out five to six weeks with a fractured bone in his right hand, an injury that could put his participation for Canada in the world junior championship in doubt. Cheap Hydro Flask Water Bottle . The Erie Otters announced Wednesday afternoon that McDavid suffered a fracture of the fifth metacarpal bone in a fight Tuesday night with Mississaugas Bryson Cianfrone when he missed and hit the top of the boards. The fractured bone extends from the base of the pinkie finger to the wrist. McDavid will not require surgery. The 17-year-old junior hockey phenom saw a hand specialist in Toronto after X-rays after Tuesdays game were not definitive. Six weeks from Wednesday falls on Dec. 24. We kind of thought that there was a chance it would be like that, Otters owner and general manager Sherry Bassin said in a phone interview. We were hoping theyd say four. McDavid will almost certainly miss Canadas world junior camp in mid-December. Hockey Canada must finalize its roster for the tournament Dec. 25, and the team plays its first game Dec. 26 in Montreal against Slovakia. Bassin told Hockey Canada he was confident McDavid would be ready to play in the tournament. Lets be honest, hes one of the best players in the world, Bassin said. Theyre pulling for him. They want him to be ready, all of Canada wants him to be ready. The whole country that follows hockey wants Connor McDavid to be ready. Reached by phone at his hotel in Regina before official word of a time frame, Canadian world junior coach Benoit Groulx said its too early to know about McDavids status for that tournament. He said Hockey Canada would stay in touch with the Otters and continue to monitor the situation There is several weeks before world juniors, so its too early to know, Groulx said. We hope that hell be able to be there, but I dont have that answer yet. Groulx said this isnt the first time the program has dealt with an uncertain injury situation. At the Olympic level, Hockey Canada wasnt sure if Steven Stamkos would play in Sochi after he broke his leg a year to the day of McDavids injury. McDavid was set to play for Team OHL in Thursdays Super Series game against a Russian junior team in Peterborough, Ont., but was removed from the roster as expected. Him being able to play in the world junior tournament is the bigger question. Is this bad timing for Hockey Canada? It is, Groulx said. Well see how it plays out. The day before a game in Buffalo, N.Y., last month, McDavid said he didnt consider himself a lock to make Canadas world junior team despite being a sure bet to go first in the draft and playing last year at the age of 16. Bassin explained that at the time as an example of McDavids humility. But he also wasnt buying it. If he isnt a lock to be on the world-junior team, I want to see that team play because if theyve got 20 players better than him, they dont even have to play in the tournament, Bassin said. If theyve got 20 players better than him, they should give them the gold medal on Christmas Day. McDavid, who wears the C for Erie, is considered among the candidates to be Canadas captain. The Newmarket, Ont., native leads the Ontario Hockey League with 16 goals and 35 assists in just 18 games this season. The Otters lead the Western Conference with a 16-1-1 record. His injury ignited debate around hockey about whether star players should be fighting. This was officially McDavids second fight of the season, though he did not throw any punches. Thats in line with Otters protocol for McDavid, which Bassin said in multiple radio interviews was for him to hug opposing players and wrap them up rather than throw punches. We didnt instruct him not to fight, Bassin said on the phone. This is an action with a reaction. Popular CBC personality Don Cherry, normally a fan of fights, said on Global News that theres no way (McDavid) shouldve ever been fighting. He added that when he coached the Boston Bruins he wouldnt allow star defenceman Brad Park to drop the gloves. Current Boston coach Claude Julien said McDavid would have been praised for fighting had he not been hurt. I dont think this is a guy that goes out and does it all the time, Julien said at the Bruins morning skate before their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Those things are going to happen, unfortunately. For a guy like him, hes trying to show that hell do whatever it takes to be a help to his hockey club. Leafs centre Nazem Kadri, himself a top prospect in the OHL a few years ago, knows what its like to get targeted. He called McDavids injury a freak accident. Obviously its unfortunate that that happened, Kadri said. Good for him for standing up for himself. ... You dont like to see it, but theres that compete level, especially in every young star, that enoughs enough and youre sick and tired of getting abused. Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly said the key was not to get caught up in fighting but that its what happens in hockey and you deal with it. Bruins defenceman Dennis Seidenberg said it was up to McDavid to decide to fight. Im sure he could have got out of it if he wanted to, but sometimes the ego takes over, and you just dont think about getting hurt, Seidenberg said. I mean, Im not a fighter, but once in a blue moon it happens. And you just dont think about getting hurt. McDavids injury hurts the Otters in the immediate future and could put a dent in Canadas chances of ending its world-junior gold-medal drought. But Bruins forward Milan Lucic isnt worried about McDavid in the long term. To be perfectly honest I dont think its really going to hurt his chances of going first or second in the draft, Lucic said. Hes got a long time still to recover and to get himself back to finish off the year. Cheap Hydro Flask For Sale . Costa Rica followed up its wins over Uruguay and Italy by holding England to a dour 0-0 draw on Tuesday, enough to finish first in Group D. Hydro Flask Sale . Beckham says "nothing has been confirmed yet, but its something I am very excited about." He adds that "Miami is something that really excites me because there is a great energy down there. http://www.cheaphydroflaskonline.com/ .com) - The Columbus Blue Jackets rewarded starting goaltender and pending restricted free agent Sergei Bobrovsky with a four-year contract extension on Friday.SANTIAGO, Chile -- Chilean midfielder Matias Fernandez needs surgery on his right ankle and will miss the World Cup, another injury blow for the talented South Americans. Fernandez told reporters on Tuesday he would be unable to play in Brazil in three weeks. He said the ankle pain had been there for a long time, and only immediate surgery would fix the problem.
