The former Smiths Falls Bear player has settled his seven\u002Dyear\u002Dold lawsuit against Hockey Canada, the sport\u0027s governing body.
Hockey Canada, the national governing body for the sport in this country, said it wanted to publicly recognize Doef’s courage.
Doef was 17, an aspiring National Hockey League prospect, and the leading scorer for the Central Canada Hockey League’s Smiths Falls Bears when he was injured during the game in Kindersley, Sask. He was stretchered off the ice, unable to feel his arms or legs, and underwent emergency surgery. Doctors were initially guarded about his ability to walk again.Article content
Doef went on to graduate with an economics degree from Princeton University, where he had previously been recruited to play collegiate hockey. The Ivy League school honoured its admission and financial aid offers after Doef’s spinal-cord injury ended his hockey career.
