For most professional athletes, it’s very difficult to know exactly when is the right time to call it a career. This week, a former Toronto Maple Leafs forward decided that his time is now.
33-year-old Kris Versteeg who had already split with the Rockford IceHogs, the farm team for the Chicago Blackhawks, earlier this season, announced he was hanging up his skates.
Versteeg played just a part of one season with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Prior to the start of the 2010-11 season, the right-winger had just come off winning the Stanley Cup and he was a very desirable player.
