ESPN has confirmed that rising hockey prospect John Mateer is undergoing another round of treatment for an ongoing issue related to his right hand back bone, an injury that has sidelined him intermittently over the past season.

Sources close to the team revealed that Mateer recently consulted with specialists after experiencing recurring discomfort during practice sessions. While the setback is not considered career-threatening, medical staff have recommended a more comprehensive rehabilitation program to ensure full recovery and prevent long-term complications.

John continues to make progress, but he’s still not quite where he needs to be, a team medical representative told ESPN. The decision to continue treatment is about ensuring he’s completely healthy before returning to full competition.

According to reports, Mateer’s current treatment involves a combination of targeted physiotherapy, strength conditioning, and regenerative therapy to restore mobility and grip strength in his right hand. The injury, initially sustained during a collision last season, has required careful monitoring due to its potential impact on his stick handling and shooting performance.

Team insiders confirmed that Mateer remains in good spirits, maintaining close communication with coaches and teammates throughout his recovery.

It’s tough watching from the sidelines, Mateer said in a brief interview. “But I trust the medical team, and I’m doing everything possible to get back stronger than ever.

🏒 Impact on the Team

While Mateer’s absence is felt, the coaching staff has emphasized that the player’s long-term health remains the top priority. Training sessions and lineup adjustments are being managed to accommodate his recovery timeline, though a firm return date has yet to be announced.

Analysts note that the 22-year-old’s continued development remains a major focus for the organization, especially given his strong performances prior to the injury.

Fans across social media have rallied behind Mateer, sending encouraging messages and wishing him a swift recovery.
