Pascal Dupuis

Its always great to hear athlete success stories. But to have a success story their has to be an incident before hand that knocks that athlete down. Pascal Dupuis is one of those athletes but he is also one that everyone was rooting for. On November 19, 2014, Dupuis was diagnosed with a blood clot in the lung. Before his diagnosis, he had left practice two days before due to tightness in his chest. The medical staff said that the blood clot travelled from the leg to the lung. He was expected to be out six months, and was out of the line up for the rest of the 2014–15 season. He played in his first hockey game in a little under a year on October 22, 2015. He received a standing ovation from those watching at he Consol Energy Center and likely even those watching at home even clapped when they saw him skating again.
