Anterior cruciate ligament
Seftel started the 1991-92 season on the injured reserve list after off-season Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery on his left knee. After nine months of extensive rehabilitation, he returned to game play and earned 8 points (2G-6A) in 18 games played with Baltimore. March 17, 1992 in an American Hockey League match versus the Cape Breton Oilers, Seftel sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee which ended his season. He started the 1992-93 season again with the Skipjacks and head coach Barry Trotz. Knee injuries limited his mobility over the next four months and he chose to retire from hockey. After retiring from hockey Seftel's right anterior cruciate ligament was surgically repaired in Kingston, Ontario at Hotel Dieu Hospital.
