Daily News | ‘It’s honestly been the hardest year of my life’: Flyers defenseman Ryan Ellis finally has a plan in place to treat pelvic injury
Flyers defenseman Ryan Ellis misses what it feels like to be a hockey player, from the rush of scoring a goal to the pain of blocking a shot. He even longs for the scrums in front of the net, the occasional punch to the face, and the exodus to the bench in need of an ice pack.
“It’s honestly been the hardest year of my life,” Ellis said on Saturday following his exit interview with coaches and management. “Can’t say I’ve been through anything harder.” “It was just a long year, to be honest, in every capacity,” Ellis said. “Being around the guys became tough because I can’t play. I can’t help. I can’t do, and I’ve never had that problem before.”
With a rehab plan in place, Ellis is ready to help instill a winning culture in a Flyers locker room coming off of a 25-46-11 season. “He’s been trying to figure out what’s going on and I’m sure he’s eager to get healthy,” Hayes said. “I think everyone that’s injured wants to get healthy and help their team win. Playing in the NHL, it’s nice that you get paid some money. It’s the best job in the world. You don’t want to be the guy who’s injured collecting paychecks.”
