Yeah, good news is a sports hernia isn't a real hernia. In a sports hernia the abdominal wall doesn't have a full torn hole in it, just some torn fibers. It's a bullshit deal because it might require surgery or it might heal on its own, I don't have insurance so I have to hope mine doesn't need operating on and I'm probably going to miss the majority of my men's league season, by the time I get back on skates I'll have to learn how to work them all over lol. It limits the shit out of what sort of things you can do as workouts as well(this is obviously more an issue for Orpik than myself), since practically all forms of exercise end up engaging the abs/groin in some way, even chest/arms stuff, you can't really do jack shit with it.
