Blake Geoffrion is considering retiring from hockey, according to the Montreal Canadiens.
Geoffrion was hospitalized with a depressed skull fracture on Nov. 9 and unfortunately his medical condition isn't showing signs of improvement. He's a former Hobey Baker Award winner and had four goals and six points in 10 AHL games this season before sustaining the injury. We wish him the best of luck in his recovery.

Blake Geoffrion (skull fracture) will end his hockey career.
Geoffrion was just 25 years old and was the 2010 Hobey Baker winner. However, his career ultimately came to a tragic end after he was hit and clipped in the head by a skate on Nov. 9. He sustained a depressed skull fracture. "I love the game of hockey more than anything and this decision tears me up inside," Geoffrion says, "but we are talking about my brain."

Blake Geoffrion, who suffered a skull fracture back on Nov. 9, met with the media prior to Montreal's game against Boston on Wednesday.
"I'm getting better every day," he said. "I know in my heart I'll come back from this. I'll do whatever I have to do to come back to play the game. I miss the game dearly." He is scheduled to meet with the club's doctors Thursday to map out the next step in his recovery. There is no timetable for his return though.

Blake Geoffrion was called up from the minors on Friday January 18.
