Anderson-Dolan out for awhile
LA prospect Jaret Anderson-Dolan (Spokane Chiefs) is currently in LA and is expected to have surgery there for a broken bone in his wrist. Likely to be out for six to eight weeks, which could negatively impact his availability for Team CAN at the WJC.

-Spokane co-captain Jaret Anderson-Dolan has reportedly made his way down to L.A. after breaking a bone in his wrist. The center played in two games for the Chiefs before being scratched for both of his team’s games last week.
The timeline for his return could mean that he will not be able to play for Hockey Canada at the U20 World Junior Championships.
