One of America’s best hockey reporters has come forward about his serious health situation.
Aaron Portzline, who covers the Columbus Blue Jackets for The Athletic, revealed on Monday morning that he’s dealing with kidney failure. He’s at Stage 5 and in serious need of a transplant.
The prominent NHL reporter is relying on frequent dialysis to keep himself alive, as he waits for a potential transplant.
Portzline chose to come forward now ahead of the NHL season, to be transparent with his readers and also spread awareness about transplants.
