Cody Hodgson looking at making a comeback
** NHLRumors.com transcription
“And finally tonight, Ron, a bit of a different story. So Cody Hodgson was the 10th overall pick in the 2000 draft by the Vancouver Canucks. He played 326 NHL games for the Canucks, the Sabres, the Nashville Predators, and he had to retire at the age of 26. And later on, he revealed that he was diagnosed with malignant hyperthermia, a muscle-related condition that really caused him some bad injuries and put them at risk.
Well, last summer Hodgson was given a clean bill of health. He resumed skating he skates and trains five to six times a week, and he would like to try again.
And I completely understand this. I spoke to him this week. If my career ended in that way, I’d want to try again to. He’s going to be 34 next month, he understands he’s not starting in the NHL, and he knows nothing is guaranteed. But he’d like to resume his career and he’s looking for an opportunity out there. wish him the best.”
