Over the weekend, former New Jersey Devils forward Beau Bennett announced he was retiring from the NHL. He wrote on Twitter that he was leaving professional hockey to join an organization called Pro Mentor in order to teach youth hockey players how to make it to the next level. It’s a great cause to give his time, so it’s nice to see Bennett doing something with his early retirement.
One thing that stood out is the lack of “thank yous” for the Devils in his three-page letter.
