very possibly. the thing is, if you keep re-aggravating/re-injuring it, it never really heals.
i've played goal for 15 years. i've pulled my groin twice playing and it's brutal! it's been at least 6 years or so since the second time i really hurt it and i've found that i can tweak it doing the most mundane thing. earlier this year all i did was pivot on my one foot and bam - the pain in my groin was brutal and i was hobbling around for days.
my guess is he's at the point where he says 'screw it - i'll just take the final year off'. it's also one of those injuries were it's kind of hard for a doc to say "you're fine to play". i know with my groin pulls after a couple weeks i could walk/jog fine.... but drop into a butterfly - not a chance. so you look fine, but really you can't play goal.
