ANAHEIM, CALIF. - Forward Shawn Horcoff returned to practice with the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday while serving his 20-game suspension for violating the terms of the NHL's performance-enhancing substances program.
Horcoff practiced with his teammates on the first day he was eligible to come back. His suspension lasts until March 11.
"Any time you go through something like this, the hardest part is being away from the guys," Horcoff said after practice. "I was allowed to use the facilities and work out and keep myself in shape. I just wasn't allowed to be in practices or around the team until this point.
