We apologize, as this retirement slipped right by us. Perhaps we were still in a hangover over Canada’s win in Men’s Hockey in the Olympics. A few days ago, there was another retirement worth reporting on, this time in the world of Hockey.
Milan Hejduk, who did not play this year officially, announced his retirement from professional Hockey. He was drafted by the Quebec Nordiques in 1994 and debuted in the NHL when the team relocated to Colorado in 1998. The Czech born player would play fourteen seasons in the NHL, all for the Avalanche where he would have 805 Points.
His best season was in the 2002-03 Season where he won the Maurice Richard Trophy for the most Goals in a Season and earned Second Team NHL All Star honours an also led the National Hockey League in Plus/Minus. He finishes his career with a respectable 805 career points and a Stanley Cup Ring earned with the Avalanche in 2001. Internationally, he was part of the Czech Republic team that won the Gold Medal in the 1998 Nagano Olympics, and he won a Bronze in Turin in 2006.
We thank Milan Hejduk for his great career, and we look forward to see what he will be up to next!
