Former Flyer Marc-Andre Bourdon finds God, resumes career at Liberty University

Liberty University is a far cry from the NHL. It's where Marc-Andre Bourdon seems happy, though.

Marc-Andre Bourdon's hockey career ended last offseason, when it was determined that post-concussion symptoms were just too much for him to continue playing hockey at a high level. The former Flyers and Phantoms defenseman was done with hockey at age 24 as no organization opted to give an injured player a new contract in free agency.

A year later, Bourdon has resumed his hockey career in a much different place -- behind the bench as an assistant coach for Liberty University, which ices a club hockey team in the ACHA's Division 1.
