Former Ducks goaltender Jonas Hiller retires from hockey

Former Ducks goaltender Jonas Hiller has retired from professional hockey, according to his Swiss league club EHC Biel-Bienne.

The Ducks official account followed it up by confirming the retirement and thanking him for his contributions to the franchise.

Hiller was signed by Anaheim as an undraftred free agent in 2007. He made his NHL debut during the season opener in London, beating the Los Angeles Kings 4-1.

After backing up longtime goaltender J.S. Giguère, Hiller was named the starter ahead of the 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs, where he turned in one of the greatest performances the franchise had ever seen.
