''No athlete wants to make this kind of post but I have decided to step away from playing hockey.
Over the past few years i've been battling injuries and working hard to get back to full playable health but unfortunately I have decided to take a step back & start a new life chapter.
I would like to thank @paraidershockey & the city of Prince Albert for all the love and support during my time there. It truly was the best place to play Junior Hockey.
The @mapleleafs & @torontomarlies for drafting me & and all the opportunities to chase my dream of playing pro.
I would also like to thank all the teammates, coaches, trainers, my billets in PA & all the lifelong friends I made along the way.
Lastly, my family, for believing in me, standing by my side through all the ups & downs and being the best support system.
I'm excited to see what the future holds!''
