So an article in the Province on Thursday let us know that Brendan Morrison and Matt Cooke are on the road to recovery from their sports hernia surgeries (May 2007). There was no mention of Mattias Ohlund, however, who went through the same surgery.

Cooke said that being in contact with Morrison and Mattias Ohlund -- another sports hernia surgery casualty of the offseason -- was helpful. Ohlund skated with the group on Monday.
"Mo and Mattias and I have shared stories for months," said Cooke, who is entering the final year of a $1.5-million-US contract. "It gives you a measuring stick of where you're at."
