Nolan's father, James Ion stated that their local hospital in Southlake cleared his son to leave the hospital just a short period of time prior to his passing, but failed to make sure he was 100%, as It was later revealed that the hospital missed blood clotting, which ended up leading to Nolan having cardiac arrest and passing away.
Many loved ones and close friends of Nolan Ion speak out on the tragic passing
«I've lost all faith in the Newmarket hospital The only way he was going to be saved was Saturday night,» his father said.
Following that, Nolan's head coach spoke out on the accident and the current state of heath care systems when it comes to children:
«We want to try and prevent this from happening again. «Maybe doctors in our health-care system maybe need to take a little more precautions when it comes to children.» Leo Baker said
Nolan's family realized that their son was having trouble breathing late in November, but were told that he had "walking pneumonia" and a punctured lung, and was shockingly cleared to return back to the ice by doctors.
«Every game, he still didn't have the energy. He didn't have the wind capacity,» Baker said. «You'd only see it on the ice. They don't take kids injuries seriously,» he said. «They never would have suspected a blood clot in an 18-year-old. You gotta run some tests because it can happen.»
Truly very devastating news, and on behalf of everyone here at NY Rangers Insider we send our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Ion as they navigate through this difficult time.
May you Rest in Peace, Nolan.
