Chaz Lucius, who signed a three-year contract with the Jets in 2022 and began his professional career playing with the Manitoba Moose in the 2022-23 season, announced Tuesday he was retiring from professional hockey after recently being diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

The condition, also known as EDS, affects the body's connective tissue by causing an abnormality in the proteins that hold joints, tissues and organs together.

"People with EDS got the cheap dollar store glue, and everybody else got the crazy glue" to hold joints together, says Tammy Stadt, who lives with the condition.

Good grief... that sounds awful, like you're at your prime getting into the NHL but your body is just literally made of glass. Hate to see it, but it's good he got it diagnosed before an injury like like paralysis or something.
