Why is this such an issue? He was likely never going to make the NHL. He was a long shot even when he was drafted. Maybe he loves hockey and likes to play it but not to the extreme of being a pro. Can't fault him for hanging on to see how far his talent can get him, but in the end he went as far as he was comfortable. He is done now. No big deal.
Just because a person has a talent to do something doesn't mean they should exploit that talent for monetary gain. You do things because you enjoy it. If you can make money and still enjoy it then good for you. If not, then you need to quit so you can still enjoy it in some capacity.
There is nothing wrong with his decision to quit. Only the matter in how he handled it but again, no big deal. It doesn't affect me, I can't see why it would be such a concern to many other posters on this board. Maybe you should go back to watching daytime soaps if you need the drama that badly.
