Vancouver Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko is enduring a challenging recovery from a rare lower-body muscle injury, with little information available as it differs from common hockey ailments. While he has found similar cases in soccer, Demko's situation remains unique.

As the Canucks commence training camp, he skated alone but is eager to return. Despite setbacks, Demko remains optimistic about his recovery as he heads into his eighth NHL season, emphasizing a need for improved training habits to ensure he remains healthy.
