A symptom of CML (and all forms of leukemia) is easy bruising. Hopefully he won't have too much of a problem with that--if you play hockey it's hard to avoid getting bruised.

I wish him the best. He's a giant pain in the butt on the ice, and my experience has shown me that those are quite often the best guys off of it. Either way, I hope he comes through with flying colours.
