Footie star suffers from Salmonella

I tried my hockey goalie re-debut in Australia and strained both my ACLs (that’s anterior cruciate ligament) within 10 minutes. Maybe I’ll prep better next time, or stick to coaching.

clay.smith.aflAussie rules football has become my second favorite sport because of the same randomness and aggressiveness of hockey (the ice kind, have to say that down here) but unfortunately for AFL rising star Clay Smith, he not only tore his ACL, he got Salmonella poisoning.

He’ll be out for the rest of the year.
