Flyers' Holmgren hurt in bike crash

Flyers’ general manager Paul Holmgren has been hospitalized after a bike crash in Avalon and listed in stable condition.

According to Avalon police, Holmgren lost his balance while riding Monday morning and suffered multiple injuries.

“[I am] sore, but otherwise in good spirits," Holmgren said in a statement released to the media.


Comcast-Spectacor president Peter Luukko then released further details:

“It appears that he might have hit a rut or something as he was biking in Avalon," Luukko said. "I know Paul, he’s pretty fast on that bike so he probably went over pretty hard. The good news is that it’s certainly nothing life-threatening and we’ll have him back.

“He has some broken ribs, broken shoulder and some stitches on his leg and arm, but Paul’s tough so he’ll be right back in the game.”
