Flyers GM Paul Holmgren on Thursday refuted a Facebook rumor that defenseman Chris Pronger was retiring, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Theres no truth to him retiring, Holmgren said.

Pronger is hoping to recover and return to the Flyers, but is still experiencing headaches, Holmgren told the Inquirer.

According to the report, citing posts on Facebook and Twitter, a moving van was spotted Wednesday outside Prongers house in Haddonfield, N.J. Holmgren said the Prongers were going to St. Louis because of an illness in Pronger's wife's family.

Pronger was limited to just 13 games this past season with post-concussion syndrome.
