Injuries May Force Controversial NHLer to Retire at 27
Injuries are part of the game.
Unfortunately, they are a risk you're willing to take when you step on the ice for a pro hockey game.
Josh Ho-Sang, a former NHL player, learned that the hard way.
When he started playing in the KHL in 2022, during his very first game, he got injured. He was supposed to miss three months of action, but a year later, he still hasn't been able to return to play. Now, rumors of retirement surround the controversial player.
Ho-Sang to Retire?
The Hockey News Hub shared on their Twitter account that Ho-Sang is thinking about retiring because of the injury.
Even if he wasn't the most appreciated player when he was in North America, it's sad to see him retire because of an injury at only 27 years old.
The controversy surrounding Ho-Sang goes back to his Junior days when he was known for playing dangerously.
Then, it continued when he insisted on wearing the number 66, becoming the second NHL player to do so since Mario Lemieux retired.
Ho-Sang played only 53 games in the NHL and scored 24 points between 2016 and 2019 for the Islanders.
