A MRI prior in the day had uncovered a torn front cruciate tendon (ACL) from a tackle in an amusement 10 days prior against the Axemen.
Singh got the call from the specialist on Nov. 5, not long after getting to Nova Scotia.
"Whatever is left of the drive was simply quiet. I was entirely dismal," Singh reviewed.
However, the fourth-year UPEI Panther, who can play striker or on the wing, declined to think his AUS vocation could be over.
"My first believed was I must be back for my one year from now, so I need to buckle down," he said.
Taken every necessary step
The 23-year-old graduate of Kensington Intermediate-Senior High School has taken every necessary step to get back on the pitch this late spring, and be prepared for the main session of the season. He will play in the Panthers (0-2) home opener today evening time at 7:15 p.m. in Cornwall when Acadia (2-0) comes to town.
"He's simply been such an incredible case to all our young players," Panthers head mentor Lewis Page said. "The work he's done to return from his damage and the way he's conferred himself in the off-season to getting into shape — he's return significantly more grounded than he was a year ago."
Best season
Singh was amidst his best season as a Panther when damage struck. He had six objectives, including two diversion victors.
Once in a while when players have a solid fourth year, they let up heading into their fifth and last year of qualification.
"They overlook what got them there in any case," Page said. "Harmie is not one of those folks. He's done the inverse. He's expanding on the achievement he had a year ago and he's worked considerably harder in the off-season than he did the prior year."
Understudy mentor
Singh indicated Will Caesar, the Panthers understudy mentor a year ago and a previous UPEI ball player, for helping him get prepared for this season. Caesar had experienced ACL surgery himself.
"He took me to the rec center verging on consistently and demonstrated me works out," Singh said.
Other than a support on his knee, you wouldn't see vastly different with Singh on the pitch.
"He's not keeping down. He's getting right in there, battling for balls," Page said. "It says a lot to what sort of man he is."
Page said Singh is a carefree person off the field, however "once he goes too far, he's exceptionally aggressive."
Co-commanders
He and kindred fifth-year player Mark Ashlee are the group's co-commanders this season. Singh indicated Adam Lowther and Cole MacMillan as two folks he took in a great deal from amid his days at UPEI.
"They were extraordinary pioneers on and off the field, so I am going to attempt do things they've done before," he said.
