Veteran NHL forward John Scott, who rose to prominence by reaching the 2016 All-Star Game thanks to a groundswell of fan support, officially announced his retirement from hockey Wednesday.
Scott wrote about the decision in a piece for The Players' Tribune, which recounted a whirlwind career that featured far more fights than goals (warning: link contains NSFW language):
It has been a hell of a ride. But I'm done. I am officially retired, as of today.
I scored five goals. I had four kids. And I had one hell of a good time over the years.
