IT IS DONE: St. Louis Blues’ incredible right wing, Jordan Kyrou, has stunned fans and left head coach Jim Montgomery in shock with a major announcement…
In a move that has reverberated across the NHL community, Jordan Kyrou—one of the brightest stars on the St. Louis Blues roster—has made a stunning announcement that no one saw coming. After months of speculation and behind-the-scenes whispers, the 26-year-old right winger revealed that he will be stepping away from the game indefinitely to focus on personal well-being and long-term health.
“It is done,” Kyrou said in a brief but emotional press conference earlier today. “This isn’t an easy decision, but it’s the right one. Hockey has been my life for as long as I can remember, but sometimes, you have to listen to your body and your mind.”
Head coach Jim Montgomery, visibly shaken by the announcement, offered words of support for his star player. “Jordan is more than just a key part of our team—he’s family,” Montgomery said. “While this is a huge loss for us on the ice, his health and happiness come first. We support him 100 percent.”
Kyrou has been a central figure in the Blues’ offense, known for his blistering speed, creative playmaking, and electric presence on the ice. His performance this season was among the best of his career, with 25 goals and 38 assists through just 60 games. His absence will undoubtedly leave a noticeable gap in the team’s top line and power play units.
Fans across the league have responded with a mix of shock and overwhelming support. Social media was flooded with messages from teammates, rivals, and fans alike, all echoing sentiments of gratitude and encouragement. “Take care of yourself, JK—you’ve already given us so much,” read one popular tweet.
While no specific timeline was given for his return, Kyrou emphasized that this was not a retirement announcement but rather a necessary pause. “I’ll be back when I’m ready,” he said with a determined look. “Stronger, healthier, and more grateful than ever.”
As the Blues adjust to this sudden change, one thing is clear: Jordan Kyrou’s courage to prioritize his well-being has earned him even greater respect—not just as a player, but as a person.
