The Montreal Canadiens released a statement on the condition of Blake Geoffrion on Wednesday, March 13th, 2013. The club explained there was no improvement on Blake`s condition since the injury, and many reports have linked the young forward to be seriously contemplating retirement.
It was reported earlier by ESPN columnist John Bucigross, that Montreal Canadiens forward Blake Geoffrion was going to inform the hockey club that he will be retiring from pro hockey.
John Buccigross quotes Geoffrion in saying :
“I love the game of hockey more than anything and this decision tears me up inside,” Geoffrion says, “but we are talking about my brain.”
Danny Geoffrion, Blake`s father, clarified the situation by stating that it is not certain his son will retire, but rather that he`s been seriously thinking about it. These are troubling times for the Geoffrion family, and Blake is being faced with some hard choice
