That's a real bummer, really liked the kid when he was up. Fast as all hell, too. I actually have a game issued jersey of his I was going to strip, might hold it a bit. Wore my favorite number. Poor kid.
poor guy
but at least we won't have to listen to half the posters here crying about him not getting in the line-up

Because dont worry we have Zac Attack Rinaldo in there?
Wellwood was a good 4th liner who could play the pk, skate really fast and well and hit hard Thats it, but he was good at what he did.

How you like me now!
Sucks but I am happy he still has his hand in the game. After 40 years of pain I am finally going to do the full knee replacement surgery this summer. Blew it out playing hockey the summer of 74 and back then all they did for me was put my leg in a full cast for months. Ripped that puppy up real bad and my sporting career was over.
Congrats Eric.

Bourdon and Wellwood would be too cheap contracts in the lineup. Bad luck for them and the team. Years of good salaries starring them in the face and an injury (or series) and not only their dream dies, but their prospect of being financially well off as well.

damn that sucks, great character kid. that was a pretty horrific injury he suffered. best of luck welly and glad to see the flyers continuing trend of helping their guys out. poor kid tho, dreams dying just like that but at least he made it to the show.

That's a really cool opportunity for him, such a shame that leg never recovered, he was a really fun player to watch. All the best!

Thank You Mr. Snider
I was a Wellwood fan. He had such great speed and he battled hard on the forecheck.
Really a shame to see his career end like this, but he seems happy to start his coaching career and I wish him the best

Whats happening to this team? Losing Bourdon(concussion), Wellwood(life threatening skate cut), Gus(KHL) and almost Stolarz(skate cut to back of his leg)...hate to see that youth get away from us by injury or the KHL....almost feel cursed.
