It required another procedure to remove a screw that was causing irritation.“It’s frustrating when you can’t help out. I’m a hockey player, I want to be on the ice and help the fellas out. Obviously, it was tough, but I learned a lot,” Lindholm said. (per NHL.com)“There’s stuff you can learn from being on the sidelines. I always try to improve, especially when you are injured.Even if you can’t do one thing, you can do something else to try to improve.”During his rehab, Lindholm mixed pool sessions with physical therapy. He even found creative ways to stay sharp at home. He added that it probably looked funny to see him standing with crutches while still stickhandling, but it helped him stay connected to the sport.By June, Hampus Lindholm was finally back on the ice, beginning his return to full training.
