Mousseau fell to the ice and hit his head last Friday during warmups for a Western Collegiate Hockey Association playoff game between Ferris State and Michigan Tech in Grand Rapids. Upon tripping, he was skating with his hands in his pockets, unable to break the fall.

Bleeding out of his ears, Mousseau was taken to Mercy Health St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Rapids and was put in a drug-induced coma because of brain swelling. Doctors had hoped he could be transferred to Craig Hospital in Englewood if his condition improved.

Crazy freak accident.  I'm guessing he wasn't wearing a helmet during warm up.
