Blake Geoffrion has accepted a position as a pro scout with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Geoffrion retired at the age of 25 after his 2012-13 campaign was cut short when he was hospitalized with a depressed skull fracture. "It's definitely tough to think about never playing again," Geoffrion said. "But it's bittersweet, because I'm excited about this, the next chapter, the next opportunity. I can't wait to get started. I've always followed depth charts, and I've always kept track of the players in this league, what they can and can't do. It's definitely a passion of mine, and I'm excited to join the Blue Jackets."

Blake Geoffrion has officially announced his retirement. Geoffrion's NHL career was cut short when he was hospitalized with a depressed skull fracture. He recently participated in the Nashville Predators' development camp, but he's still decided to take a step back from hockey. "I would like to thank Geoff Molson, Marc Bergevin, the entire Montreal Canadiens organization as well as the Hamilton Bulldogs organization for everything they have done for me. They have been unwavering in their support, professionalism and kindness. I cannot thank them enough," said Geoffrion.

Blake Geoffrion is participating in the Nashville Predators' development camp. Geoffrion is an unrestricted free agent after completing his one-year contract with Montreal. His 2012-13 campaign was cut short when he was hospitalized with a depressed skull fracture. At one point he considered retiring, but he has fortunately recovered. It wouldn't be surprising if the Predators decide to sign him to a two-way contract this summer.

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.

"I was cleared by the neurosurgeon and the Club's medical staff to return home for a 3-week period of complete rest. I am very happy to be home for Thanksgiving. I would like to thank Dr. Mulder and the Club's medical staff, as well as the entire medical personnel at the Montreal General Hospital for their extraordinary care. I am very grateful to Geoff Molson and Marc Bergevin for the unrelenting support they have shown myself and the members of my family.
