Barron returns to school

Methuen High junior forward Brady Barron was back in school on Monday, two weeks after he suffered a life-threatening injury in a game against Gloucester. His wrist was accidentally sliced by the skate of a Gloucester player, cutting tendons and nerves and severing an artery. Barron was treated immediately on the ice by trainer Janielle Martin , a critical care nurse who slowed the bleeding before the arrival of EMTs. He was then rushed to Children’s Hospital for surgery.
