Mats Sundin has announced his retirement from the NHL at a press conference that took place at 12:30 Swedish time today.
“I’m retiring from pro hockey…. It feels good, it comes from the heart,” Sundin told reporters. “I’ve had a long carrier and have played since I was a child. It’s hard to summarize everything but it’s been a great journey…I couldn’t have had a better life than the one I’ve had. “Sometimes I feel like my body just doesn’t want to keep going,” he said.
“Getting a Stanley Cup ring would have been nice,” he said, but added that it was hard to complain because he had “been a part of so many other great things along the way”
Sundin gave special thanks to the Maple Leafs organization and said that “Toronto is and will always be my second home.””.
“I really got to fulfill all my childhood dreams.”
