After 14 years in the NHL – 11 of those with the Flyers – Simon Gagne has officially decided to call it a career. “Today, I want to thank my trainers and teammates,” Gagne said in a retirement press release. “You inspired me to surpass myself … I also wish to thank my fans. Every evening, you energized me and inspired me to perform.”
He tallied 535 of his 601 career points in orange and black, and ends his career in the top-ten in Flyers history in games played (10th), goals (9th), points (10th), and game-winning goals (6th), among others.
Some career highlights, after the jump.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
