Major update on Kyle Okposo’s tragic “disease” that kept him in a neuro intensive care.

One of the NHL Most Tragic Stories of the 16–17 Season

One of the biggest stories leading up to the National Hockey League wasn’t about hockey at all, but rather about the long-term health of veteran NHL forward Kyle Okposo. The Buffalo Sabres forward found himself in a neuro intensive care unit with an undisclosed medical condition, and there were concerns about his future both on and off the ice. However the prognosis now seems very reassuring.

So far, no one was aware of the “disease” Okposo was suffering as the team kept the silence on the story.

“We’ve had conversations with him and everything is looking great from Kyle. He physically looks great, mentally looks great,” Botterill said  “… From our standpoint, everything will be ready for him at the start of training camp, just like all our other players."
