He was one of the nicest, most sincere kids that we've ever had stay here. He was polite, respectful and influenced younger players to fall in line. He's a great kid and I know he'll do well.<br />Conrad Johnsonconradjohnsonhttp://comcast.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37271484.post-45571794771823139202011-08-04T07:02:17.172-06:002011-08-04T07:02:17.172-06:00This was on Eagle sports today.

That was the first 'Hawks team to see playoff action in 3 years, and he was a calming influence on the back end, primarily playing with the captain Brett Ponich as a paring.<br /><br />We praise character like Eric's - the drive to get back in the lineup to be there for the team. It seems fitting that he would now be demonstrating leadership - for all hockey players - by speaking out about his experiences in hopes of others having better outcomes.Chad Balcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788824156507522789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37271484.post-45303412077643044582011-08-03T14:26:43.944-06:002011-08-03T14:26:43.944-06:00Very sad to once again read about the effects of c...Very sad to once again read about the effects of concussions, but a very well done piece of writing Jon. <br /><br />It's amazing what happens when someone in the sports media builds relationships with athletes instead of blindly criticizing them in the name of journalism.<br /><br />RSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37271484.post-64583065123441454152011-08-03T14:17:00.667-06:002011-08-03T14:17:00.667-06:00Eric was a great addition to the Winter Hawks and ...Eric was a great addition to the Winter Hawks and I am truly saddened by his having to leave the game.<br /><br />I wish him well and hope he makes a complete recovery.Trent Klugnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37271484.post-58508973094253004992011-08-03T11:53:26.403-06:002011-08-03T11:53:26.403-06:00One of the best articles on PCS that I have read. ...One of the best articles on PCS that I have read.
