News from earlier today. Avery Peterson will be leaving the University of Nebraska-Omaha hockey team for personal reasons.
I wish him and his family the best and hope one day he will lace them up again. He is a great kid and wouldn't be doing this unless he felt he had to. Sometimes there are things that are bigger than hockey.

His older brother has a terminal disease, correct? This is a sad story and I wish their family the best.

He's going to transfer somewhere closer to Grand Rapids. He'll be enrolling for next semester. Yes, he'll still be playing hockey, eligible the following spring.

I believe you are correct. I knew a couple years ago they were doing some new treatments that sounded like they were working better. Not sure how he's doing now.

I remember FSN did a story on the family and their son's illness. (I think it was for Hockey Day) I don't remember what the illness was, but I sure hope treatment is helping. Good that Avery will get more family time now.

I think Avery Peterson is, and has always been, a class act. I feel bad for Avery and his family. "Good things" for the Peterson family.

Is that the reason his production ground to a halt this year? One assist in the games he played and being a healthy scratch lately do not impress.

One would have to assume that had something to do with his on ice performance. Here is an article that details the situation a little more. He kept his personal life to himself and didn't make it a burden to the team.

It was a treat to watch him, Bischoff, Sheppard, Simonson, Jensen, Morse, Makinen and a bunch of other standout players compete in the annual alumni games. Good fun.

Saw him at the Greenway/Hibbing game with Adam Johnson. Hopefully this means he will be a Bulldog.
