Cory Sarich Ready To Resume His NHL Career

from Scott Cruickshank of the Calgary Herald,

The veteran blue-liner is seeking employment in the National Hockey League.

As of Tuesday, he was still waiting.

“I spoken with a few teams,” Sarich, 37, said after an informal morning session at WinSport. “That’s been obviously the goal — to try to see if there’s any interest out there. Nothing so far. I’m just going to keep skating … trying to get my legs underneath me.”

As most people know, the former member of the Calgary Flames hasn’t suited up since that horrific cycling crash in Invermere, B.C.

That was July 2014.

Sarich suffered five cracked vertebrae, muffler-burns on his shoulder and wrist from sliding under the offending truck, severe road rash. (“My helmet was busted up in probably seven or more pieces,” he said a month after the wreck. “It was just in pieces hanging by the chinstrap and was actually choking me, so good thing I had that on because it helped in saving my life.”)

Sarich, not surprisingly, was unable to perform at all last season.

But after a full summer of training alongside brother-in-law Nick Schultz, defenceman of the Philadelphia Flyers, Sarich says he’s eager to resume his career.
