Pittsburgh Penguins prospect Jordy Bellerive has been hospitalized with an unspecified injury after an incident while starting a campfire Friday night in Calgary, the WHL's Lethbridge Hurricanes revealed in a statement.
The initial report claimed the fire happened at a bachelor party, but that was not the case. The fire happened at the family home of WHL Alumnus Tyler Wong. Wong and nine friends were planning on going golfing and camping the next day.
Bellerive and WHL alumnus Matt Alfaro are currently in stable condition. Bellerive's Hurricanes' teammate, Ryan Vandervlis, has been placed in a medically-induced coma and is in critical condition after suffering severe burns to his body.
The 19-year-old Bellerive led the Hurricanes in scoring this season, notching 92 points in 71 games. He signed with Pittsburgh as an undrafted free agent last September.
The Penguins released a statement Sunday, indicating assistant general manager Bill Guerin has been in contact with Bellerive, who is expected to make a full recovery.
