It's always been kind of mystery.....
Why did Tim Thomas walk away from the game of hockey and basically disappear off the face of the earth.�
Thomas of course made headlines for not showing up to the Bruins visit to the White House after winning the Stanley Cup.
He then tried a brief stint with the Florida Panthers before leaving hockey for good.�
After being named to the USA Hockey Hall of Fame, Thomas finally revealed what happened to him.�
Thomas says he was suffering from such bad concussion effects he just needed to be away from everything.�
"I couldn't keep up with watching a game for a few years after I stopped playing... My brain wasn't functioning well enough to watch a game. So I sat in the woods for a few years."
"The was a time period where I hated the game. My rebound effect was, this wasn't worth it."
