Today is a very special day in the NHL, as we have learned that the captain of the Boston Bruins, Patrice Bergeron, has officially announced his retirement from professional hockey.
The 37-year-old Quebec native, who will undoubtedly become a Hall of Fame member as soon as he becomes eligible, is currently receiving praise from all corners of the league.
It marks a significant moment in the National Hockey League with the departure of one of the best defensive forwards in history. In addition to winning the Stanley Cup in 2011, Bergeron has earned the Frank Selke Trophy six times, which is awarded annually to the best defensive player in the NHL.
Kent Hughes, who has a special relationship with Bergeron, being the agent who brought him in the NHL, released a heartfelt statement.
