Some Foley news

Not good for this young man, but a great piece by JT.

Foley hasn’t played in a hockey game since Traverse City, his once promising career obviously in jeopardy. It’s been 21 months since that last concussion, and he’s still experiencing symptoms. Some days are good, some days are bad, some are in between.

“I would say I’m dealing with some mental health things that I need to get squared away,” Foley said. “Like anxiety, things like that. And I have the physical symptoms, too, with headaches and being mentally foggy. Just feeling like you’re in a fog.”

Well he didn't work out. Hope he gets healthy and figures out that unfortunately, hockey isn't his future as a NHL player.

Whatever happened to that other left winger we had hopes for? Wasn't his name Stevens?

And the league still hasn't admitted that there's a link between concussions and CTE.
