Wow, two dmen retire and neither of them were Drew's.
Am I correct in remembering that players who haven't played in a year are considered retired in the HFNHL?
I'm not sure that's quite what the article is saying. It's not saying it's official.
Yes but with clarifications
(i) Measuring point is as of October 1st (like retirees and Europe bound) so if they tryout or get signed in September this does not apply.
(ii) Reason for not playing was not medical (missed season b/c of concussion, major surgery, etc.)
