Junior defenseman Steven Holtz is back in the lineup for Michigan tonight. It may not be a big deal to those who aren’t familiar with Michigan hockey and Holtz’s story, but it is a monumental achievement for the junior.
Back in November, Holtz was away from the team due to a very serious life-threatening illness, and he spent multiple days in the ICU.
Holtz battled, though, and after a long recovery process, tonight he is set to play in his first game for the Wolverines since Nov. 5.
