f*** yeah

 

[eojsmada]

Love to see it

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Have to imagine the best place for someone with malignant hyperthermia is the ice.

 

[cyris]

Good for him. Never give up on your dream.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Love it, kick some more ass Cody

 

[Artorius Horus T]

You know what would be amazing; Cody signs a contract with an NHL team
and that NHL team ends up winning the Stanley Cup!.

Movie magic material

Former Vancouver Canucks forward Cody Hodgson ends comeback attempt following eight-year absence | TSN

Cody Hodgson has ended his comeback attempt. The 34-year-old former Vancouver Canucks forward has once again retired from the game following a return from an eight-year absence.

Looks like his comeback is over, his condition started to act up again. Poor guy

 

[BLNY]

Too bad. Looks like he was doing well in Milwaukee.

 

[orby]

You can't knock Hodgson's determination and grit. It's a shame his return didn't last very long, but he deserves respect for the attempt.

 

[jetsforever]

That's too bad but still cool he was able to get into some games

 

[sr edler]

Would have been a crazy story if he somehow had played in the ongoing 1st round series against Vancouver and scored a series clinching OT GWG.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Came back played hard. Condition came back. He tried. He has 15 million in earnings so can live a good life. Maybe he will become a coach or something if he can do that.

He clearly loves the game

 

[Chainshot]

Too bad to hear he's been felled by it for a 2nd time. Valiant effort none the less.

 

[Machinehead]

He can always say he scored that goal.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

Hopefully, he can still be involved in the game in some way

 

[GoldOnGold]

He can always say he scored that goal.

He actually had 6 goals - he played 13 games (and also got 2 assists). Seems like if his condition hadn't come back, he could have done it.

Now get on a management rôle you crazy bastard and engrave your name forever on the silver grail

Ya, I think people are missing this- if you start the AHL almost .5/ppg you’re gonna see the show at some point. Pretty sure he started out at a better pace and then possible slowed due to the condition as well.

Shame, but infinite respect to him. One of my new favorite NHLers of all-time.

 

[The Nuge]

I have a tremendous amount of respect for him taking another shot at it, and succeeding, after such a lengthy time. It’s too bad it flared back up. Hopefully he got enough closure out of it

That kind of production even in the AHL is very impressive at age 34 after an 8 year layoff. Wild stuff

 

[Stive Morgan]

Glad he seemingly found the bookend to his career he was looking for. Much happier ending than the previous, that's for sure. That kind of production in the AHL, factoring his age and 8 year gap, is actually pretty insane as the previous poster had said. I had assumed he'd get like 2 points.

After an 8 year layoff getting on the ice at a pro level is ridiculous
