NHL Heatley r expresses sorrows

Associated Press X ATLANTA — Atlanta Thrashers star Dany Heatley expressed sadness Tuesday night for the car wreck that killed teammate Dan Snyder, saying he was “very sorry over the loss of my close friend.” In his first public comments since he crashed his Ferrari into a wall, Heatley issued a state­ ment before the Thrashers played the New York Islanders. Heatley was charged with Knowledge is power, vehicular homicide after Snyder died last week of injuries sus­ tained in the Sept. 29 crash. Snyder fractured his skull in the it on. wreck and never regained con­ sciousness. Heatley was also injured and might miss the entire season following knee r* surgery. Last Friday, Heatley joined the rest of the team in Elmira, Ontario, for Snyder’s funeral. k “I am deeply saddened and very sorry over the loss of my close friend and teammate, Dan Snyder.” Heatley said. “The entire Snyder family ... have W demonstrated amazing strength and compassion during this very painful time.” Test results showed Heatley consumed a small amount of alcohol before the crash. His blood alcohol content was less than 0.015, far below the state’s legal limit of 0.08. Because Heatley wasn’t drunk and Snyder’s relatives say they forgive him, prosecutors could decide the car crash was just an accident, with no need to pursue felony charges and sentences ranging from three to 15 years. Heatley, the MVP of last sea­ son’s All-Star game, broke his jaw and tore two ligaments in his knee. He had surgery to repair the knee, and the Thrashers said they expect him to play this season. “The accident has taken a huge emotional toll on me, and Join us, and you’ll find yourself in an environment where knowledge and of course, my family as well," learning are shared. An environment where you can expect to learn from your Heatley said. “At this time, my focus is on the Snyder family and colleagues' ideas. And where they expect you to contribute your own.
