Ryane Clowe’s Injuries May Force Him To Retire

When Ryane Clowe signed a 5-year deal with the New Jersey Devils in the summer of 2013, most felt this was a desperate move by GM Lou Lamoriello to replace a departing David Clarkson. Clowe brought a physical game with a scoring touch similar to Clarkson, but he also known for being injury prone and was coming off a concussion which made the signing risky at best. Fast forward to today and now there are reports that his prior head injuries may force him to retire before the end of his contract.
