Hagemo Done

Nate Hagemo has decided to end his hockey career, due to a nagging shoulder injury. This kind of seemed inevitable given that the shoulder didn't seem to be healing with time, but it's still sad news. Hagemo was a talented player with a promising career that was unfortunately cut short due to injury.

Shoulder injuries like Hagemo's seem to be becoming much more commonplace in hockey today. It's likely a side affect of the huge size and amazing speed in players today, and probably not much could be done to prevent these types of injuries. It's disappointing to see such a promising player have his career cut short though.

Shoulder injuries have been a major problem in hockey as long as players have been checked into the boards. They are very tricky to heal and often lead to arthritis later in life.

Best of luck to Hagemo in his future endevours.

I am really glad to hear that he gets to keep the scholarship, and hopefully with no strings attached. It would be difficult explaining to the kids why Goldie sounds like a player they recently admired.
