Ian Laperriere Talks About His Injury

Q&A: Injured Flyers forward Ian Laperriere

Katz: What’s it like as you see teams gearing up for the playoffs?

Laperriere: It’s hard for more than one reason. I like to be part of the team. I really like our team — the team is going to make a lot of noise in the playoffs. As much as I’d like to be part of it, I just can’t. It always comes back to I’m not 100 per cent and if I’m not 100 per cent I won’t play again. My eye still bugs me a little bit, but you know I work out every day and I do a lot of stuff I used to do, I don’t have any headaches or dizziness, but still have issues with my eye. I won’t do that same mistake again; I won’t put my life at risk again
