In early October, Henrik Lundqvist was ready for Washington Capitals. Just over three weeks ago, he did his first training session with the team, but now there will be no more games due to heart problems.
– Today is a hard and emotional day for me. It’s heartbreaking to have to tell this, she writes on Instagram.
According to the club’s website, it is a serious heart problem. Lundqvist writes that in recent weeks he has undergone various tests and discussed the future with doctors.
– Together we have come to the decision that the risks before the problem is solved are too great. It is still very difficult for me to assimilate and quite shocking. But the experts are involved and I know this is the only right thing to do, Lundqvist tells the club’s website.
Capitals supports the decision
After 15 seasons with the New York Rangers, the club announced in September that they would buy him out of contract. A few weeks ago, it became clear that the new management of his club was Capitals, which is now losing its new acquisition.
– We support Henrik’s decision to take a break from hockey. The health of our players is the most important thing and we are behind the decision. We wish him and his family all the best for the future, Capitals writes.
