Days after the official retirement of a future Hockey Hall of Famer in Joe Thornton, another significant hockey player has announced his career has come to an end.
Paul Stastny, the son of Hall of Fame inductee, Peter Stastny has retired from the game after last playing with the Carolina Hurricanes. Stastny was an All-Rookie Center with the Colorado Avalanche in 2006-07, and he eclipsed 70 Points in three of his first four NHL Seasons. An All-Star in 2011, Stastny also played for St. Louis, Winnipeg and Vegas, and accumulated 822 Points. Internationally, he represented the United States, where he won a Silver Medal in the 2010 Olympics and Bronze at the 2013 World Hockey Championship.
Stastny, who will be Hockey Hall of Fame eligible in 2026, is unlikely to enter the Hall, but if the Avalanche ever have a franchise Hall of Fame, he is a possible entrant down the road.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to wish Paul Stastny the best in his post-playing career.
