Anaheim Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller ready to make comeback after self proclaimed recovery –NHL Update
It has been over a month now according to Anaheim Ducks goalie, Jonas Hiller, a player everyone had their eyes on during the 2011 National Hockey League (NHL) offseason, has not had any reoccurring symptoms of vertigo, thus, leading him to announce his comeback
for this year’s training camp with his Californian team.
At 29-years-old, Hiller, a national of Felben Wellhausen, Switzerland, will be playing his fifth consecutive season in the NHL with Anaheim Ducks after being picked up by the team for his outstanding performance in the Swiss leagues. Since then, Hiller has
established himself as one of the league’s best goalies and continues to help the Western team dominate.
He missed nearly two months of the regular season and was unable to perform in their first playoff performance since 2009, but is confident his comeback will be better than ever.
"It's just great to feel better", Hiller said during a conference call from his hometown in Switzerland. "I can't really put a date on [when the symptoms cleared], but pretty much for the last month and a half, it has been progressing almost day by day.
I haven't played any games for quite a while so I can't make any promises, but I'm feeling great in practices, seeing the puck well and everything, and I'm definitely looking forward to being back as soon as possible".
At least it is good news for Anaheim, a team which has been facing two situations which had them at the peak of desperation. First the Hiller situation and the second, which is still in the pipeline, is waiting for NHL legend, Teemu Selanne, to announce
in September whether he is to remain in the league or is set to retire.
Symptoms of vertigo caused Hiller to miss more than he was hoping for and the strange part is, him and doctors to this date, cannot explain why it was happening to him and how all of a sudden it stopped.
"I wasn't really concerned about my career", Hiller added.
Anaheim Ducks begin their training camp in mid-September, which would allow Hiller more than enough time to evaluate himself as being ready or still requiring time off.
