Nate Hagemo has decided to end his hockey career, due to a nagging shoulder injury. This kind of seemed inevitable given that the shoulder didn't seem to be healing with time, but it's still sad news. Hagemo was a talented player with a promising career that was unfortunately cut short due to injury.
Shoulder injuries like Hagemo's seem to be becoming much more commonplace in hockey today. It's likely a side affect of the huge size and amazing speed in players today, and probably not much could be done to prevent these types of injuries. It's disappointing to see such a promising player have his career cut short though.
