Tuukka Rask announces his retirement from the NHL

After 15 long, storied years...Tuukka Rask hangs up his pads.

The end of an era.

Yesterday, we posted about the possibility of Tuukka Rask’s career ending thanks to his health declining.

From the Statement:

Today is a day I hoped would never come. But now that it’s here, I feel I owe it to everyone to hear it from me. When I made the Decision to have my surgery on my hip last summer, I knew the road to recovery would be challenging. I also knew it was something I would have to do if I wanted to give myself a chance to play my best hockey again.
