Flyers forward emotional about frustrating missed season.
As a testament to the Flyers' season which many had described as painful, one player's career this year was just as equally painful to watch. Not due to the lack of production or interest in playing for the Flyers, it was the fact he could not play due to a major neck injury.
During locker clean-out media day, Cam Atkinson opened up about how tough this season was for him and that he had a burning desire to play hockey but his body wouldn't let him.
Atkinson also opened up about the Flyers' medical staff. Atkinson feels that he has full confidence in the medical staff they have currently and that he had issues earlier this year due to the fact so much of it was something he never experienced.
