Sad to report that 30 year old defensemen Adam Graham of the Columbus Blue Jackets has retired. I am not sure on the reason but my guess would be a career ending injury. You had a solid NHL career Adam and I know it sucks to have it cut short.

wow...i mustve died Adam Graham, a D-man to be honoured
On the eve of Janurary 25th, 2022, Adam Graham, 30-year old Columbus Blue Jackets hopeful defenceman lay on the ice with nonresponsive vital signs, who's life had suddenly vanished and his NHL career was over just like that on the ice.
At first time's notice medics rushed to Adam Graham, hoping that he would respond. After 5 minutes progression to get him to response was failing. Then it happened, the defenceman suddenly thrusted his head in an upwards position. 10 minutes later medics ordered out the stretcher, for the defenceman who had suddenly passed away. "There was no pulse....the only response we saw after trying to bring him back was his head thrust" the doctors had told the media, shortly after Graham's death, which caused the game to be cut short.
The worst part of it all is that fans, players, coaches, and GM's all had to watch the horrifying incident, as there was nothing they could do, but call out for help.
"I can't believe it...when you first think about it, it's like it never happened, but it happened and we are truly saddened by it" the Jackets GM said.
Doctors performed an autopsy on the defenceman, what they saw just shocked them. "We're lost at words...basically you wouldn't normally find this in a human body". Doctors found out that Graham had a small type of tumor shaped ball in his right brain, which cut off the defenceman's oxygen level flow. "The second he hit the ice he passed away" doctors of McMaster Hospital explained. The tumor also acted as a poison substance, which flowed throughout his bloodstream, and into his arteries, which flowed throughout his entire body. The final target for the blood was his heart, where we found 10 milligrams of puroixon (a poisonous substance caused by the tumor), and when the heart stopped beating it's most likely te time for when he passed away, and most likely the time for when the brain stopped receiving the right amount of oxygen required to keep the blood's circulation.
After fans, players, coaches, and GM's were notified of the defenceman's death, there was a complete silence in the arena, and all persons were spotted in sadness.
A great friend has once been lost, and is served in honor before us, with everyday deliberation towards what is once to soon be a known road for wisdom, throughout many aspects where one cannot simply be put in such a horrifying experience that one person would not often think about its everyday tragedies and consequences.
All NHL games will have a ceremony to honour the 30-year old defenceman, prior the game to when they play after Graham's death.Memorial services will be held at the Jackets arena before the upcoming game. Players will wear his number and the initials A.G. with a heart on their jerseys.
What greatly is one's true enemy, is one's greatest only hope for mankind. In the dreadful process of a man's schemes, is what cannot be undo to, and into justice. A man's honor has been made throughout the dignity and somewhat generous offers of those who stand astoundingly before us. What canot be conceived in liberty, is often what is conceived in freedom.
"Often what is not seen, is what we often see over fear" |

You sure it wasn't just a heroin overdose?  p.s. Early retirement means you have to be alive to do so, otherwise you couldn't retire because you'd be dead. |
