Retired Johnny Boychuk flourishing in unique Islanders role after eye injury
NY Post
When Johnny Boychuk abruptly announced that he was hanging up the skates last November, he said it wasn’t a decision, but a life choice.
One that he made to salvage his eyesight, which had suffered irreversible deterioration in the form of poor peripheral vision and optic nerve damage stemming from two separate incidents over the course of his 13 years in the NHL. Several doctors told the Islanders defenseman that if he continued to play hockey, his eyes could get much worse.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp.
