I have had an incredible journey playing the game I love and my decision to retire has been a very difficult one for me.
I still really like it. I knew I had to do a lot to get ready for this season. I started skating in July, which I never do. I skated a little more than usual in August. I still love this game.
What the Sharks did, it shocked the heck out of me. We've always been rivals, but I think they know how much I love this game, and how much I've given to it.
