Embiid
On early summer vacay
Would be nice to have him in the mix if he can maintain his health. Showed a lot of promise before the concussions...
VOORHEES — Most players went home, wherever that may be, after the Flyers’ season ended in April.
Not defenseman Marc-Andre Bourdon.
Only recently has he found company at the Skate Zone as some teammates have started migrating back to the area to prepare for next month’s training camp.
The 23-year-old had something to prove after being kept off the ice since last November, when he sustained his second concussion in a year. Dizziness, neck soreness and sensitivity to light have forced him into a long recovery and he now wears a tinted visor on the ice.
His rehab program has demanded so much of his time that he’s only left the area twice all summer. He left for a week to hang out with former teammates Mike and J.P. Testwuide near their Colorado home, but he was skating. He went to Switzerland for five days on a charitable trip for the Hockey Ministries International program, but he found ice there, too.
Since he returned from La Vallée de Joux, Switzerland in late July, Bourdon has gone back to work.
