I definitely think it is a good thing to go home as soon as possible. However that being said, just because you are released from the hospital doesn't mean you are "well". Depending on the circumstances you still are not back to 100% back to normal. Things inside your body are still healing for weeks after surgery. I don't think that was a wise move on the hockey player.
