    Veteran NHL center Mike Comrie says his career is on hold until he recovers fully from hip surgery.

    Comrie, who was with the Pittsburgh Penguins on a one-year contract in 2010-11 and missed much of the season with a hip injury, said he began his initial rehab from surgery too early, according to a statement issued Monday. It was the second such surgery of his career.
