“Promising Jets Center Caden Lucius Shocks NFL with Sudden Retirement at Just 21: The Hidden Battle Behind His Decision”
He played for the Moose for the past three seasons, missing time due to injury. He had nine points in 25 games this season but hadn’t been in the lineup since early February. Head coach Mark Morrison said at the time that Lucius “has a medical condition that needs a little bit further evaluation.”
The Jets said in a statement on Tuesday: “After much discussion and consultation with Chaz, his representatives, and medical professionals, the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club fully supports his difficult decision to retire. Chaz’s condition and struggles with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) put him at risk of injury if he continues to play at the professional level, so we understand his choice. We wish Chaz all the best in his efforts to be an advocate for those dealing with EDS and hope for a bright future in front of him.”
