The Carolina Hurricanes announced Monday that their captain will “take a break” from hockey and will not start the season with the Hurricanes while he continues to consider his future in the NHL.
“For as long as I can remember, my whole off-season until this point has been hockey and doing what was necessary to prepare for the upcoming season,” Williams said in a statement.
