Lindenwood ice arena up and running after carbon monoxide scare

The Lindenwood Ice Rink in St. Charles has reopened after more than 19 women’s hockey players were treated for carbon monoxide poisoning Friday night following Lindenwood’s 5-1 loss to Wisconsin.  A high level of carbon monoxide is measured at a level of 10.  The building was measured at a level of 200.

Officials originally  believed the cause was malfunctioning humidifiers at the arena, but now believe the ice surface machine may have leaked carbon monoxide.

Wisconsin senior Michaela Johnson, the daughter of head coach Mark Johnson, was most affected by the carbon monoxide.  She became ill during the game and was taken to an area hospital, where she was treated and released late Friday night.  Because of the facilities condition at the time, Saturday’s second matchup between the two teams was cancelled.

On Monday, Lindenwood released a statement on their website:

“The St. Charles County Fire Department did a walk-through this morning (Monday Jan. 9) and gave us the go ahead to open. We have installed additional safeguards to prevent issues like this from occurring again in the future.”

Dave Steckel looks to improve off a 1-10 first season.

The Missouri State Bears kick off their 105th season of college football and 75th season at Robert W. Plaster Stadium on Thursday (Sept. 1) when they welcome the Southwestern Moundbuilders of the NAIA to Springfield for a 6:04 p.m. non-conference contest. The visitors from Winfield, Kan., are coming off a 3-8 campaign last season.

Missouri State head coach Dave Steckel is in his second season on the sidelines as he brings back 15 starters, 39 lettermen and 57 total returnees. A trio of returning Bears earned Preseason All-Missouri Valley Football Conference honors earlier this fall, led by All-America linebacker Dylan Cole, who posted 152 tackles last season — the most by any returning FCS player. Return specialist Deion Holliman was also on the conference’s elite preseason list after he led the nation in total return yards (1,233) in 2015. Sophomore safety Jared Beshore was also recognized on the Valley preseason list after he finished third on the team with 70 tackles as a freshman.
