HELSINKI (AP) — Valtteri Filppula has decided to retire from hockey at age 41 after playing one final season at home in his native Finland.
Filppula announced Tuesday he is calling it a career. He is one of just 30 players — and the only Finn — in the Triple Gold Club for winning the Stanley Cup, Olympics and world championships.
