IAN LAPERRIERE RUMORS
A Brief E-mail Interview with Ian Laperriere
With all the concussions that are happening in the National Hockey League this year, I figured now would be a good time to do an e-mail interview with an NHLer who has had one and that is Ian Lapperriere.
Lapperriere has not played in the NHL since the 2009-10 season due to post-concussion syndrome. Ian was kind enough to take the time to tell us about how he got into hockey, how...

Laperriere goes on after frightening concussion
Ian Laperriere was dazed, his blood squirting all over the ice.
On all fours, a towel pressed to his face, Laperriere begged the Philadelphia Flyers trainer for some good news.

That hope took a giant blow on Wednesday when Laperriere disclosed that doctors have advised him to retire.

Could Laperriere's Stolen Teeth Jeopardize His Endorsement Career?
Flyers fans can easily recall the day Ian Laperriere lost several teeth after being struck directly in the mouth with a slap shot. His mug has taken its share of elbows, shoulders, and pucks through the years, but that one was about as destructive as it gets.
True to form, he was back on the ice soon after, at first sporting a facemask, but it wasn't long before...
