Carey Price doesn’t even think about the idea of putting his equipment back on because it’s so damaged.

Carey Price will never play in the National Hockey League again.

We know this… Because his body simply can’t keep up anymore.

The goaltender has not yet officially announced his retirement and until then, he is enjoying life with his family in British Columbia.

Richard Labbé spoke to him, and in an article published on La Presse’s website, it is mentioned that Price is still able to lace up his skates to have fun with his son at the local rink.

But it can also be read that the goaltender isn’t even considering putting his goalie gear back on, so much so that his body is worn out:

At 37 years old, he can still put on his skates for a stroll with his son at the local rink, but he can’t even imagine slipping on the pads again. – Richard Labbé

At the end of the text, we also learn that Price will be back at the Bell Centre by the end of the season:

It’s such a shame.

Professional athletes are proud, and they all want to make the decision to retire when the time is right for them.

However, sometimes, some are forced to leave the sport much sooner than expected due to injuries, and that must be frustrating in a way.

Because it’s 100% certain that Price must be gritting his teeth watching the recent success of the Canadiens, and it’s also 100% certain that he would like to be there to help the team on the ice.

Unfortunately, that’s part of reality…

That said, Price still watches the CH games and he made sure to congratulate Jakub Dobes after his first victory (with a shutout, no less) in the National Hockey League.

It’s a way of staying close to the game in a sense!

In Brief

– Still.
