Jeremy Langlois motionless on ice after brutal collision, what doctors found 24 hours later shocked college hockey

Jeremy Langlois is cleared to return after a terrifying on-ice collision sent shockwaves through college hockey. The University of Maine freshman defenseman left Brigham and Women’s Hospital with clean medical tests and plans to rejoin the Black Bears this weekend in a triumphant comeback story.

Scary Moment That Shook the Arena

Brady Berard delivered a devastating check that sent Langlois flying into the boards face-first. The collision left the 19-year-old defenseman motionless on the ice as the crowd fell silent and arena staff rushed to assist.

Medical personnel carefully stretchered him off the ice after several minutes of evaluation. The moment created genuine fear throughout college hockey circles, with many fearing the worst for the talented young player.

Medical Evaluation Brings Relief and Hope

Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston conducted thorough evaluations including CT scans and X-rays. All imaging came back normal, eliminating concerns about serious head injury, spinal damage, or other trauma.

UMaine Athletics confirmed Monday afternoon that Langlois was released from the hospital and traveled back to campus. Head Coach Ben Barr and the sports medicine staff documented that the freshman maintained full mobility after the check, which proved critical in the overall assessment.

The Maine Black Bears (8-5-1 overall, 5-3-0 Hockey East) now have their young defenseman available for upcoming competitions and practice sessions.

What’s Next for Jeremy Langlois and the Black Bears?

Langlois joins the team for practices and conditioning this weekend as he progresses through the return-to-play protocol. Maine doesn’t have a scheduled game until December 5 when they host New Hampshire at Harold Alfond Sports Arena.

This extended break provides optimal time for the freshman to rebuild his confidence and ensure complete readiness before resuming game action in December. The sports medicine staff will continue monitoring his progress closely.

College hockey fans and the Maine athletics community can breathe easier knowing the talented young defenseman avoided serious injury and will be back on the ice defending for the Black Bears when the team needs him most.
