Major Announcement from Milan Lucic Leaves the Entire NHL in Shock

Milan Lucic returned to Boston last season, where it all began for him. It was a promising return for the forward who had made a significant impact with the Bruins.

However, the stint was short-lived. Lucic was arrested for domestic violence after just four games.

Now, Lucic doesn't want to end his career on that note. He aims to make a comeback and has been training accordingly. Frank Seravalli reported details that have surprised many fans:

Sources indicate that Milan Lucic trained in New Jersey this summer in an effort to continue his playing career.

Lucic is currently ineligible to return to the NHL. He was arrested in Boston last November for assault, pleaded not guilty, and the charges were dropped in February when his wife invoked marital privilege and refused to testify.

Lucic took an indefinite leave from the Bruins following his arrest and did not return to the team. His one-year contract expired on June 30.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman will need to approve Lucic's return to play, even though he has not been officially suspended by the league. Lucic has entered the NHL/NHLPA's assistance program.
