Former NHL goaltender and CBC blogger Kevin Weekes has a great post up today chronicling Rick DiPietro’s long recovery from injury and back to the NHL.
Rick DiPietro’s Long Road Back To The NHL
↵It was DiPietro’s hard work and perseverance that helped him not only return, but return successfully:
↵↵You’d think the path of Rick DiPietro would breed entitlement, complacency and maybe a woe-is-me self-pity party, but knowing him the way I do, it’s actually quite the opposite.
↵When you’re blessed with unique talent and ability, athleticism and charisma, his accomplishments should come as no surprise. And throw in a 15-year contract and you should be on top of the world.
↵I can honestly say, next to Arturs Irbe (still love you sewing your gear by hand during the intermissions Arch!), Rick DiPietro is the hardest working goalie that I’ve played with or against on and off the ice hands down.
↵↵Weekes goes on talk to goalie coach Sudsie Maharaj about DiPietro’s return and recovery. Yes, that is his real name.
