Latest news on Knox....he went for a physical as per requirements of all the teams in the league before training camp, and a heart condition was found. High probability his hockey playing days are over.

That's really too bad, he's a talented player. What kind of heart condition, do you know? I think Danny Stewart played with a heart condition of some kind, did he not?

They think he has a hole in his heart. If it turns out that way, it is a serious condition that will end his career

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what Danny had. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. He may also have had surgery to fix the problem...

Lets hope for his sake that they can. I hate seeing that with a young kid. I think they will need to do a lot more testing before the final diagnoses is made, but if surgery is required, this season will still probably be out of the question. There is usually quite a long wait time to get tests and surgery if it is not an immediate life threatening condition.

Didn't former Q players/Charlotteown Abbie players Mike McGuigan and Joey Neale have some sort of heart condition as well?

Yes they did. Joey had an enlarged heart.....career ending, while MacGuigan had a hole I think that was too severe to correct

No, he collapsed in his driveway one day and they found a heart condition....unless you are thinking of hid brother Billy. He may have retired from concussions
