At 26 years of age, a majority of us are just starting to understand ourselves and put together stable careers. In some more unique situations, however, people may land their dream job at a young age, only to have it taken away from them; leaving them with an indescribable void and confusion on what to do next.
For Mark Visentin, this was unfortunately the case, as the goaltender was forced to retire just days before the start of this year due to health complications.
“I have been so fortunate to achieve my childhood dreams in hockey, but the time has to come to move onto the next chapter of my life”, Visentin said in his official retirement letter.
