Tucker retires due to lack of contract offers
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, NHL,
Darcy Tucker won’t be playing in the NHL this year; or ever again. After a 15-year career with Montreal, Tampa Bay, Toronto and Colorado, Tucker has announced his retirement after a summer of shopping himself around that ultimately ended without him finding a city willing to pay the money he felt he deserved.

One of the greatest goalies has officially called it a career. 42-year old Curtis Shayne Joseph, better known as “CuJo” to fans, announced his retirement from the National Hockey League on Tuesday at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.

Brendan Shanahan retires at 40
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, Editorial, NHL,
After 21 seasons in the National Hockey League, Brendan Shanahan has finally announced his retirement. In a planned move on Tuesday, the 40-year-old winger called it quits on what can only be described as a gloriously successful career. With the 2009 NHL Hall of Fame induction ceremonies out of the headlines, Shanahan’s retirement announcement comes at a perfect time. All focus will be on the eight-time All-Star, and there will certainly be some ceremonies in his honor in Detroit in the coming days, the city where Shanahan brought back three Stanley Cups and where he undoubtedly enjoyed the majority of his success.
