I don't see what the problem is. Better he realize he doesn't want to play now and go hame than make the team, suit up for a few games, cause someone to miss out on a roster spot and then quit. I think one thing we have to keep in mind is Thunderchild was the "other" player who was helped off the ice last year against Seattle in the playoffs in the game Portland came back o win incredibly. Perhaps after a Summer to think about the hits and the fights he just decided it wasn't for him. After all, this is a developmental league in which very few players will ever reach the NHL. It is very hard to realize at some point you aren't going to make it. Perhaps he came to that realization and decided to get on with his life.
