“It wasn’t so much the physical symptoms from the injury, it was more like the emotional side of it,” Sharp said. “I had a lot of anxiety about it, waiting to get back on the ice. It wasn’t a sprained knee that you have a timetable, it’s just a day to day thing where you’re hoping you can come out of it. I’m thankful I did come out of it and happy to be back playing.”
