The short-term Flyers forward took to social media on Sunday to announce his decision to retire from the NHL.

He wasn’t with the Philadelphia Flyers long, but Chris Stewart made enough of an impact on the team to earn his brief contract. He came into training camp looking to prove he could still make it and the coaching staff was impressed. He signed a one-year deal, though ended up not playing much with the Flyers.

Stewart appeared in 16 total games for the Flyers, his last coming on January 15th.
