Patrick said.<\/a><\/p>\n“I think as he’s got older and matured like all of us do, I think that’s one thing he hasn’t ticked off the box, playing for his country. He played in the youth level, but it’s nothing like playing with the Boomers.<\/p>\n
“So I think he’s on track to trying to get healthy mentally and physically, and I think it’s something that he will try to do moving forward. <\/p>\n
“It’d be an exciting time to hopefully try to get him into LA, but there’s some steps in place when you’ve been out for the year that he has been.”<\/p>\n
