Breaking: Very young NHLer may be forced to retire due to injury.

There's some sad news to report out of Montreal.

According to a report from Habs insider Marco Normandin the career of a very young Montreal Canadien may be coming to an end, and it's much, much too premature.

Normandin is reporting that 23 year old Michael Bournival is seriously contemplating retirement after a series of concussions of the last several season have put his playing career in serious jeopardy. Bournival has only appeared in 61 games over the last two seasons as a result of those head injuries, and it's those concussions that have him contemplating retirement at 23.

It must be an incredibly difficult and emotional deicision for such a young man to make, to give up on his dream career at just 23, but if it means he will have a better quality of life in the long-term it may be for the best.
