Walpole, MA – After stepping down as the captain, Chris Eighmy expected to relax in his new role as Motivation Officer. However his own motivation will be tested in the coming months, after learning from doctors that he will need season-ending surgery, in order to continue to compete at the ‘C’ level going forward.
“We are saddened to hear this news,” stated Larry Flemming, spokesman for the Provo Liquor Penguins. “Losing Chris as captain was one thing, I mean what did he really do, right? But now to lose him for the season is devastating. We are hopeful for a full recovery, and are expecting that he will be ready to go by 2017.”
According to sources, Eighmy threw his back out while doing the ‘Dougie’ in his home last Friday night, after the Bruins victory. With that said, there seems to be some discussion on the exact injury.
“We have not decided on what surgery Eighmy will undergo,” admitted Bill Miller, Eighmy’s agent. “Back, neck, knees, the guy is riddled with issues. It will be a surgery-day decision on what will be tackled first. What we do know is that Eighmy is out for the season.”
News of his surgery has shocked the hockey world, and has left players and fans in despair. The only silver-lining, was highlighted by his defensive partner, Youngblood.
“I don’t need him,” Youngblood stated earlier today.
