More Prospect injuries?
KELOWNA, B.C. -- The run of injuries to top players leading into the 2012 CHL/NHL Home Hardware Top Prospects Game didn't end just because the two-day event has started.

Windsor Spitfires defenseman Nick Ebert, who was supposed to play for Team Cherry tonight, is questionable due to a stomach bug. After winning the hardest-shot contest at the skills competition last night, he woke up this morning feeling ill, and did not practice. His status for the game is in question.

Also, Kitchener Rangers center Radek Faksa, who won the breakaway challenge last night, is questionable for tonight's game due to a leg injury. He was kicked in the calf during the 3-on-3 portion of the skills contest, but he's on the ice for Team Orr's practice. We'll update his status when we can.
