Head games, and I can't take it anymore
Hirsch leaves Gophers:
The University of Minnesota men's hockey team, ranked No. 1 entering the season, received a blow Thursday when it was announced that Tyler Hirsch, the leading scorer last season, has left the team for personal reasons.
Hirsch, 21, of Bloomington will apply for a medical hardship waiver and hopes to return to play his senior season next fall.
"He came in, and we had a little chat. He said that's what he wants to do, and we support him 100 percent," Gophers coach Don Lucia said. "He led our team in scoring last year, and obviously he's an outstanding player, but at the same time we want to make sure Tyler's healthy."
In a statement, Hirsch said it "was not an easy decision, but one that I feel was the best decision for both myself and the team. I will use this year to concentrate on other aspects of my life but plan on returning to the team next season."
Somewhere, Sisyphus' mighty heart is breaking.
