Ice Hockey: Team GB and Cardiff Devils forward Josh Waller out for season
- Published
Josh Waller finished the 2022-23 season with 19 goals and 18 assists in 67 games
Josh Waller looks set to miss the World Championship having been ruled out of the rest of the season by injury.
The Cardiff Devils forward is due to have ankle surgery following an injury against Belfast Giants this month.
He will miss the remainder of the Elite League season as well as the championship for Team GB in Czech Republic in May.
He had scored 14 goals and eight assists in 38 games in all competitions for the Devils.
"I feel awful for Josh," said Devils head coach Pete Russell.
"He is young and will recover quickly, but nobody likes to miss games especially down the stretch like this.
"Josh was one of our go-to guys with Team GB and it will be difficult to replace a player like him for the national team or for the Devils."
