After suffering a concussion in early November, one of many he's had in his career, Jakub Voracek won't be back on the ice anytime soon.
"We had a conversation about it and I felt like I was speaking to the same person," Voracek said."We both had the same ideas or same opinions on those things, what I went through with my concussions and what he went through with his concussions."
"Especially as a hockey player that is used to playing, you do everything in your power to get back on the ice," Voracek said."Sometimes, maybe especially when you’re young, you miss that judgment. All those decisions, how soon I was coming back or when I was coming back out of those concussions, they were all up to me.
"I got hit a few times pretty badly over my concussion past," Voracek said."I’m kind of worried that if that would be the case eventually, what was going to happen to me, if I would be able to get up out of bed in the morning. ... With my head injuries in the past, it’s pretty serious to take a look at. Just make sure I consider all my options for my future. We’ll see where it’s going to take me.
