POTSDAM — The start to his final season in a Clarkson uniform hasn't been exactly the way Shea Guthrie would have planned.

The senior forward from Carleton Place, Ontario, missed the first four games of the season after suffering a wrist injury, and his team has struggled to a 2-8-4 overall record and a 1-6-1 record in ECAC Hockey games.

"Obviously, it was a frustrating experience for myself, but it's part of the risk you take playing a physical sport," Guthrie said of his injury. "As time has gone on, I have regained most of my strength and functionality of my hand, and it hasn't bothered me on the ice. The healing process was pretty slow, but it was important for me to be patient and not rush coming back."
