Rick Judson Car Accident: Former Komets player Rick Judson recovering following tragic October crash.

After being involved in a car accident, former Komets player Rick Judson is in the intensive care unit.

Judson was on his way home from his job as an electrician when he got into a serious collision in the Swanton area. His truck had been wrecked.

“It’s a miracle he is still with us,” his sister-in-law Michelle VanBuskirk posted on Gofundme, the website where a fundraising page has been established to help pay for his doctors’ bills. “He has a very long road to recovery while he is in the ICU. You know Rick well enough to realize that he quickly became more concerned with providing for his family than with himself.”

In 2000–01, 54-year-old Judson was a member of the Komets. He is frequently spotted at Toledo Walleye games and was inducted into the ECHL Hall of Fame in 2019. He was the all-time leader of the Toledo Storm, an ECHL team he played for, in a number of categories, including goals (197) and games played (455).
