Worst of all, he suffered a final concussion as a result of an impact from his own teammate, Ryan VanderBussche, which forced him to retire. Many people think of football as the sport with the most injured athletes, but you’d be surprised how many hockey players make the list.

After that injury, he tried two times to reclaim his former glory, but he was never able to do so, resulting in a career that was far less illustrious than it could have been.
