Canadian “Pittsburgh Penguins” defender Chris Letang has suffered a second stroke, according to the National Hockey League (NHL) club’s website.
We note that nothing threatens the health of the 35-year-old hockey player, whom he left for an indefinite period.
Chris reported the symptoms to training staff on Monday and was immediately taken to hospital for tests. The test results were shocking, but we’re grateful Chris is doing well. We thank the medical staff and doctors. He is a warrior on the ice, but above all he is a son, a father, a husband and a friend. His health is our number one priority,” club chief executive Ron Hextall said.
In 2014, Letang once had a stroke, it was due to a congenital heart defect. Then the hockey player missed about two months. The athlete himself also commented on what happened.
“I’m lucky enough to know my body well enough to know when something is wrong. Although it is difficult to talk about it publicly, I hope it will help raise awareness of my condition. It’s important to me that my teammates, my family and my fans know that I’m okay. I am determined to be back on the ice soon,” said Letang.
Letang is a three-time Stanley Cup winner (2009, 2016 and 2017).
