Bad Back Sidelines Cody Hodgson

Cody Hodgson's back bad - first suffered back in July that kept him out of Team Canada's summer camp - will also keep him out of contact drills and both prospect games later this week:
"It's not progressing the way I'd like it to," Hodgson said. "I didn't know how bad it was at Hockey Canada. Once we had the doctors look at it there we realized it was going to take a little longer.
The Sun mentions a different Cody quote:
"It’s really improving but obviously it’s not improving the way I hoped it would. It will take a little bit longer. We want to make sure it’s cleared up. There is no sense rushing back. We just want to make sure it’s good to go for any contact."
Cody's injury comes after a grueling 14 months of hockey, including 120 games last season alone. Good to get those pesky injuries out of the way right at the beginning of the year, eh?
Heal up Cody, destiny awaits (and all that jazz).

Does anyone know if he has much of a history of injury? Or is this a one-time issue so far?

I’ve looked and found nothing so far. I did find this:
Hodgson’s father Chris was a cabinet minister in Mike Harris’ Ontario government from 1997 to 2002.

I think it’s just from a huge season. He’s too young to have a history of issues.

Wasn’t he weight training when he tweaked his back? It could have been a random fluke accident, rather than pinning it on a long season. Just playing devil’s advocate.

Pretty sure Lindros had a history of injuries by this point in time!
...loving life for Christ's glory...
Yeah, but Lindros lacked and kind of hockey sense. Massive talent, but no idea where the other players on the ice were. He spent his juniors being the biggest fish, and got a rude surprise when he moved to the NHL. Hodgson doesn’t have that problem.
He did? As soon as 88 started banging NHL guys around he turned into a stud.

Yup.
Then he started getting hit back. Check out the number of times he crossed the blue line looking down at the puck, or watching his pass. He managed to get over 75 games once in 13 seasons (less the shortened year).
Great numbers, loads of talent, no sense.

Cody Hodgson’s back bad … will also keep him out of contract drills and both prospect games later this week:
Contract drills? Doesn’t he have to make the team first?
And ’Nucks should really have an apostrophe in front of it, too, you know! [must … suppress … inner … schoolmarm….]
Sorry about that. fixed the contract error. it’s a holiday, let me make mistakes damn it!

Casual, you have an email address? Email me.

C’mon man. Don’t buy into that shiz. He hurt himself in the offseason lifting weights. It’s a stretch to co-relate the 2.

Sorry..he was “jogging” when he felt a pop in his back

Less would be better. I prefer short series as we roll to the cup.
I've seen enough to know that I've seen too much.
It’s in having almost 40 years of anger and frustration roll off your shoulders like an ill fitting jacket. Excitement, bah! ’94 almost did me in.
I've seen enough to know that I've seen too much.
As well as it should. That was the most heartbreaking thing I’ve seen in the playoffs…ever.

At least he didn’t hurt his back picking up a cracker.
Not too worries about this, I think.
But as always with back injuries…there is nothing wrong with going slow.
And I would prefer 4 sweeps over anything else Thurs"(you mind that I call you Thur.?)
The other teams hate when that happens…

Do you guys ever wonder if (as of now) the East has teams that could slaughter the majority of the Western teams (Boston, Pittsburgh, Philly potentially,)
Of those three
Pittsburgh actually worries me the least. In a seven-game series, any way. But on an individual game basis? I’d probably put Boston-Washington right up top, if Varlamov is the real deal and pushes Theodore into regaining his Montreal form. Theodore being in his UFA year is going to encourage him, too.
