"San Jose Sharks forward Jeremy Roenick is expected to announce his retirement Thursday, ending the provocative hockey star's 20-year career. The Sharks have scheduled a news conference for Thursday in which Roenick will make an announcement about his career. The nine-time All-Star has scored 1,216 points, third-most among American-born players in NHL history. Comcast SportsNet Bay Area, the Sharks' television broadcaster, said the 39-year-old Roenick planned to retire. Roenick didn't immediately return a phone call or text message from the Associated Press (Sportsline)."
One of the last players from that era is now retiring, though this one really doesn't matter to me. I never really liked Roenick, and I really have nothing behind other then he always kind off seemed like he was a douche, but he is a Hall of Famer with 513 goals and 703 assists which tied with Larry Murphy for 39th place on the NHL's career scoring list. He is from Mass so I guess we have to give him some respect.
