Three Alberta hockey players are in hospital after an incident involving a fire outside of Calgary.

Two members of the Lethbridge Hurricanes were injured along with a former team member. In a statement issued Saturday, the Hurricanes said team captain and Pittsburgh Penguins prospect Jordy Bellerive, teammate Ryan Vandervlis, and alumnus Matt Alfaro are being treated for various injuries.

Cochrane RCMP is investigating. Mounties said officers, the Rockyview Fire Department and EMS were dispatched the Bearspaw area at about 11:45 p.m. on Friday. RCMP said a substance was placed into a fire pit that caused an explosion.

Nate Pike with Alberta Health Services said three people injured are being treated in a Calgary hospital.

“They were being transported by private vehicle away from the site of whatever happened, so we intercepted them on the outskirts of Calgary,” he said. “We transported three male patients, one in serious, non-life threatening condition, one in serious potentially life-threatening condition and one in critical, life-threatening condition.”

The Penguins have been in direct contact with prospect forward Jordy Bellerive since he was injured in an incident last night. Assistant GM Bill Guerin has spoken with Bellerive, who is in good spirits and expected to make a full recovery.
