Paul Martin Withdraws From Team USA
February 01, 2010 @ 5:51 PM ET
Today, the Devils released a statement from Paul Martin with regards to his participation in the 2010 Olympics.
“After careful consideration, I have decided to withdraw my name from participation with Team USA at the upcoming Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. While the decision was an extremely difficult one, I feel it is in my long-term best interest to not rush any return to the ice.
“Team USA was informed of my decision earlier today. I look forward to re-joining my New Jersey Devil teammates in the near future, and would also like to wish my fellow Devils’ Olympians and the rest of Team USA good luck in their pursuit of the Gold Medal.”
Martin has been out of the Devils lineup since October 24, 2009, with a non-displaced forearm fracture. He underwent surgery on his arm last month.
Martin Brodeur (Canada), Johnny Oduya (Sweden), Patrik Elias (Czech Republic), Jamie Langenbrunner and Zach Parise (USA) still remain as Devils Olympians.
