e after sloppy Honduran defending failed to stop a cross in

Dylan Chanter has watched the video which graphically shows his unconscious body convulsing after smashing his head on the ice during a fight on Saturday in a USHL game between the Dubuque Fighting Saints and Cedar Rapids RoughRiders. "I couldnt believe it was me," Chanter told The Dreger Report. "I dont think it was as bad as the video looks." Understandably, Chanters memory of the incident is sketchy. He says he remembers the initial stages of the tilt, but little else. "I remember being strapped into the CT scan, really confused and thinking the hospital was part of the arena," he said. "My trainer said I was unconscious for two to three minutes." Remarkably, Chanter is doing very well and says aside from some fatigue he feels normal and strong enough to get on a stationary bike later this week. But until he sees a neurologist (next Wednesday), he wont be able to predict a full return to the Fighting Saints lineup. Chanter says this is his second concussion. His first suffered as a 16-year-old while playing in the BCHL with the Merritt Centennials and recalls the post-concussion symptoms then being far worse. Now 18, he appreciates the interest this incident has generated, but, sees it as a "freak accident" and says he doesnt intend on changing his style. "This is not going to stop me from fighting again," Chanter concluded. The 63 defenceman who has committed to the NCAAs University of New Hampshire Wildcats was playing in just his second game of the season after returning from a broken collarbone suffered in the preseason.

CURITIBA, Brazil -- A little under a year after the sudden death of star striker Christian Benitez, Ecuador has unearthed a new goal-scoring dynamo. Enner Valencias two calmly-taken goals that secured a 2-1 comeback win over Honduras on Friday took his tournament tally to three and put the team in second spot in a group that is likely to be won by France. Valencia, who plays for Mexican club Pachuca, only consolidated his position in the Ecuador starting lineup after Benitez died from a heart problem last July. "He hasnt even celebrated a year with us, I think hes grown a lot, improved a lot," Ecuadors coach Reinaldo Rueda said of his new star forward. Valencia, who is no relation to his captain Antonio Valencia, hopes the "joy" that the win has generated will help inspire the team in its crucial final Group E match against France, which has tallied eight goals and conceded two in a pair of dominating wins. Ecuador has three competition points, level with Switzerland but ahead on goal difference after the Swiss lost 5-2 to France earlier Friday. Honduras, which has never won a World Cup match, isnt completely out of contention despite its two losses but it faces an uphill battle ahead of its last group game against Switzerland. "We still have that possibility, though it is remote and we will fight for it," Honduras coach Luis Fernando Suarez said. Rueda praised the Honduras team for its tenacity and expressed the hope that his former charges could do Ecuador a favour by beating the Swiss. Rueda steered Honduras at the last World Cup in South Africa. Should Honduras beat Switzerland, Ecuador would oonly need a draw against France to progress to the knockout rounds of the World Cup for only the second time.dddddddddddd The first time Ecuador qualified for the second round was in 2006 and, coincidentally, the team was then was managed by current Honduras coach Suarez. Rueda conceded it was difficult to meet his former team in such a crucial match. "For me, its a mix of emotions, professional and personal," he said. Honduras took the lead in the 31st minute with its first World Cup goal in 32 years when Carlo Costly latched onto a long ball following a misjudgment from Ecuador defender Jorge Guagua. The goal ended a 511-minute drought that stretched back to the 1982 World Cup. Valencia equalized three minutes later, tapping in with his left foot from close range after sloppy Honduran defending failed to stop a cross in from the right. Honduras applied more of the pressure leading up to halftime and nearly took the lead. A fierce free kick in injury time from Victor Bernardez forced a good save from Ecuador goalkeeper Alexander Dominguez. Honduras got the ball in the Ecuador net seconds before the break when a Costly header rebounded off the post into the path of Jerry Bengtson, but it was disallowed -- apparently for a hand ball. The second half was far less frenzied than the opening 45 minutes and Valencias winner came in the 65th minute when he out-jumped the Honduras defence to head home a left-sided free kick from Walter Ayovi. "These are goals in the World Cup, this is something you dream of when you are a young kid and thank God that this dream is becoming a reality," said Valencia. ' ' '
