Sean Avery’s comeback, it seems, was short-lived. As in, not for much longer than 48 hours.
The ECHL’s Orlando Photo voltaic Bears introduced Friday that they launched Avery simply two days after signing the 41-year outdated, dropping a two-paragraph, Pizza Hut-sponsored press launch that didn’t specify a purpose for the unceremonious finish.
Avery, who had been out of hockey for a decade, stated on a podcast within the lead-up to the signing that he needed to get bodily able to stroll onto an NHL crew’s coaching camp roster within the fall. Whether or not that’s nonetheless the plan is unclear, however it gained’t be occurring in Orlando.
The controversial former Ranger was broadly thought-about a bully throughout his taking part in profession, and has handled some points since retirement, together with a 2016 restraining order for harassing his mother-in-law.
An eventual return to the NHL appears unlikely for Avery, although that was the case even previous to his launch.
Avery performed elements of six seasons with the Rangers, ending his profession with the Blueshirts in 2012. He famously referred to as it quits at 31, telling Bravo’s Andy Cohen, “I'm formally retired; I threw my skates within the Hudson (River).”
