Does anybody know what became of Hudon?

[BearLover]

Well, this sucks.

I find that generally people who don't have mental illness have a hard time understanding it.

I wish Hudon the best of luck.

Sucks it does, but more for the individual trying to make the best of his life than for the fans who, what, feel let down because Hudon was promised to us and now he's no longer here. A lot of us were curious why he left Cornell but now that we heard the outlines of the situation, that's knowledge enough. Time to move on.

Might actually be the best thing he can do for himself. OCD is one of those things that gets worse with stress. You put someone with OCD in a stressful environment and that is a tailor made recipe for regression. Doesn't happen to everyone, but its definitely highly possible at a place like Cornell. As I said earlier, it might be best for him to focus on one thing at a time. I'm sure there are people at Cornell that succeed and thrive with OCD, but there aren't many that play D-I sports on top of a place like Cornell. I'm disappointed we don't get to watch him here, but that's purely selfish motives. Philippe made what he considered to be the best decision for him and that's all that is important in this case. Always going to be a fan. Good luck Philippe.

Playing professional hockey closer to home might not be as stressful as playing college hockey while carrying a full course load at an Ivy League university far from home.

Dunno, but an NHL contract can buy* a lot of quality medication.

* Oh, that's right.  He's Canadian.  He gets health care as a right anyway.

Pretty much what I was trying to say. It eliminates the feeling we all have of being pulled a thousand different directions. Thanks for the clarification of my point.

If I were a betting-on-obscene-things man, I'd bet that it was the need to stay academically eligible in order to play hockey that made it impossible to do either. I wish him the best of luck in Victoriaville and in managing his illness.
