He just spent more than half his life getting to this point, the rewards for going a bit further are massive and he decides to quit. Maybe he is burned out, chances are he will someday be burned out of whatever he takes up now, only he will probably make a lot less.
If he were my kid, yeah I would get him counselling now so that he does not regret it down the road when it's too late. Maybe they already did that. Who knows?
Money makes everything in life better. The more I make the happier I am and the more freedom I have. Nobody is saying it's the only thing, but if you can't see how financial freedom makes life better than I don't know why I would even want to spend another character acknowledging you.

Umm, no we're not. Very, very, very few professional hockey players make anywhere close to that number, and among those that do most of them only make it for a few years. You have a pretty warped view of the reality of professional hockey.
Perhaps you should seek counseling if you think that financial rewards are so important that you should continue to do something you no longer want to do on the miniscule chance it could make you rich.
