After 19 years in the NHL, spending all of them with the Boston Bruins, Patrice Bergeron has announced his retirement from the NHL, according to multiple reports. NBC Sports Boston’s Nick Goss first reported the story.
Bergeron said in a statement, among other things:
For the last 20 years I have been able to live my dream every day. I have had the honor of playing in front of the best fans in the world wearing the Bruins uniform and representing my country at the highest levels of international play. I have given the game everything that I have physically and emotionally, and the game has given me back more than I could have ever imagined.
