Michael Peca Announces Retirement

Michael Peca has announced his retirement from the NHL after 13 seasons. During his NHL career Peca scored 176 goals and 289 assists for a total of 465 points.

From SportsNet.ca:

“I truly have enjoyed my entire career as an NHL player,” said Peca. “Playing the game at the highest level, with and against the top hockey players in the world, has been a pleasure. Throughout my 13-season career I was fortunate to play on some exceptional hockey teams, particularly the 2002 Canadian Olympian team and the Sabres and Oilers teams that reached the Cup finals. Really I am grateful for the lasting friendships and memories that the game of hockey has given me, and I would like to thank my family, teammates, and the fans for all their support along the way.”
