This defenceman's career is likely over

At one time, Ryan Ellis was rehearsed as one of the games premier defenders, he was just a solid all around player that could defend well in his own end and chip in offensively as well. Unfortunately he's had some injury issues that have prevented him from playing hockey in recent years

Now, according to Keith Jones the President of Hockey Operations for the Philadelphia Flyers, Ellis has likely played his last game in the National Hockey League; take a look.



Ellis, 32, hasn't played a game in the NHL since November of 2021 due to a torn psoas muscle in his back. in 566 games with the Nashville Predators and Flyers. He collected 275 points including 76 goals and adding 199 assists.

If this is truly the end for Ellis, his career was cut way too short. Sometimes, injuries do that and when that happens it's always a shame.
