Chris Chelios has announced that he will finally retire at the age of 48! He would have turned 49 in January if he played this season. The U.S born defensemen did not have a very memorable last NHL season. But he went out on his own terms when he felt like he was done and could not play at the top level. He feels like he can be more of an asset to a team in the front office then on the ice.
Chelios will definitely be looked at as one of the best U.S born defensemen in NHL history with many many trophies, awards and memorable moments that will fill highlight reels for years to come and inspire young U.S defensemen.
Join me after this for more on the retirement of Chelios......
