Bulldogs: head coach “in good spirits” after collapsing on bench during game
BARRIE, Ont. — The Hamilton Bulldogs say head coach Dave Matsos is “resting comfortably” at a Barrie, Ont., hospital a day after collapsing on the team bench during a game.
Matsos, 44, collapsed in the final seconds of a Saturday night Ontario Hockey League game between the Bulldogs and Barrie Colts. He was immediately attended to by on-site paramedics and taken to hospital to undergo tests.
The team said in a statement Sunday that Matsos will have further tests done and “he is doing well and in good spirits.”
“We want to thank Barrie EMS, the Barrie Colts and their medical staff, the OHL and the hospital’s doctors and nurses,” said the statement on the Bulldogs’ team website.
