With just 8 minutes and 46 seconds remaining in Saturday night’s game, Boston College forward Brady Berard delivered a massive check that sent Langlois tumbling toward the boards. The freshman defenseman hit the ice hard, and the collision appeared immediately serious.
Medical staff rushed to the ice as Langlois remained motionless. A stretcher was deployed, and the arena fell silent as the Maine player was carefully removed from the ice. Both Maine coach Ben Barr and BC coach Greg Brown expressed concern after witnessing the impact.

Video footage showed Langlois struck his head directly on the ice following the brutal check. Witnesses reported “hit his head super hard after the check” according to observers at the game. The severity of the impact raised immediate fears about potential head trauma or spinal injury.
Barr quickly stated after the game: “He’s moving and talking, so that’s all.” Both coaches confirmed that Langlois could move his extremities and was conscious, which provided some initial reassurance in an otherwise terrifying moment. However, the full extent of injuries remained unknown until medical evaluation concluded.
The Hospital Stay and Clear Results
| Medical Detail | Result |
| Location Evaluated | Brigham and Women’s Hospital |
| CT Scans | Normal |
| X-rays | Normal |
| Released to | Orono with Sports Medicine Care |
UMaine Athletics announced the positive news on Monday afternoon in a statement that quickly circulated through the college hockey community. The decision to release Langlois meant no serious structural damage had been identified through imaging.
The UMaine sports medicine staff took over care of the sophomore as he returned to campus. This allowed him to recover in a familiar environment with access to professional training and medical support specific to athletic recovery.
A Franchise Already Familiar With Adversity
This wasn’t Langlois’s first battle with serious injury. In March 2024, the defenseman tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee and underwent surgery. He spent 19 months on the sidelines before making his triumphant return to the ice.
His recovery from that knee injury showcased his determination and resilience. Langlois had to work through months of rehabilitation before earning back his spot on the roster. Now, after this latest scare, he faces another test of his mental toughness and commitment to the sport he loves.
What Does This Mean for the Season and Beyond?
The positive medical results represent a best-case scenario for both Langlois and the Maine program. No indication of career-threatening injury has emerged, though careful monitoring will continue as he recovers. The NCAA concussion protocol typically requires graduated returns to practice and competition.
Langlois will need to pass through the required medical clearances and follow concussion return-to-play procedures before rejoining teammates on the ice. Maine’s strength is in depth at defenseman, but having a player of Langlois’s caliber is valuable for the team’s playoff push this season.
