Jere Lehtinen Announces His Retirement

After 14 seasons in the NHL, right wing Jere Lehtinen announced his retirement in a statement through the Dallas Stars. Originally drafted by the Minnesota North Stars prior to the team's relocation to Dallas, the 37-year-old right wing became one of the top defensive forwards in the NHL after winning the Selke Trophy in 1998, 1999, and 2003. He also helped the Stars win their only Stanley Cup to date in 1999. In 875 career NHL games, all with the Stars, he had 243 goals and 271 assists for 514 points. It's unfortunate to see Lehtinen call it a career, as he was one of the greatest two-way players the game has ever seen. He had an excellent defensive game, played with lots of class, and could also score goals. His contributions on the ice will be missed.
