Montreal Canadiens forward Blake Geoffrion, 25, grandson of Hockey Hall of Famer Bernie "Boom Boom" Geoffrion and great grandson of Hockey Hall of Famer Howie Morenz, told the team that he is considering retirement after suffering a serious head injury.

Geoffrion had told ESPN.com that he was planning to retire, but sources then said he had reconsidered. The Canadiens did not indicate when a final decision will be made.

Geoffrion, while playing for the AHL's Hamilton Bulldogs on Nov. 9, 2012, in Montreal's Bell Centre, suffered a depressed skull fracture following a hard, legal check from Syracuse Crunch defenseman J.P. Cote. As Geoffrion fell to the ice, his head was struck by Cote's skate blade an inch and an half above his left ear, slicing his skin and fracturing his skull.
