It's the topic we receive the most questions about, and we just got an answer regarding the real reason behind Martin St-Louis's departure.
Given the significant number of false rumors on the subject, we are sharing this information to clarify the situation and prevent undue speculation. We will only stick to what is circulating in the public domain.
Thanks to the Stanley25 podcast, we have obtained additional details about what happened in the life of Martin St-Louis, concerning his youngest son, Mason.
Here's what Maxime Truman revealed on the subject:
« What I'm going to tell you is that if you're a big boy or a big girl, and you write - Mason Scary Collision - on Twitter, you'll find out why he's not there (Martin St-Louis). [...]
There is a public part to the reason for Martin St-Louis's absence. » - Maxime Truman, via Stanley25
The publication Truman refers to is as follows:
« 7-3 victory against SPA. Hard to be happy while our friend and teammate Mason left the game early in the 3rd after a scary collision. The good news is he'll be okay, but it will have emotional consequences. We need to do our best to refocus and prepare for a battle tomorrow against MSC at 8 a.m. » - Mid Fairfield 08s
From what we can gather, a serious hockey injury is thus the cause behind St-Louis's emergency departure.
We sincerely hope that everything will turn out for the best for Martin's youngest son!
