BOSTON (AP) – Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron has retired.
The five-time Selke Trophy winner announced Tuesday that he will not be returning for the 20th season in his only career. The Bruins captain said he is leaving with no regrets.
Bergeron led Boston to the 2011 championship and another trip to the Stanley Cup Final. The Bruins set a record in the past season with the most points and wins in NHL history, but lost in the first round of the playoffs.
Bergeron has 427 goals and 613 assists in 19 seasons – all with the Bruins, who selected him in the second round of the 2003 draft. Since then, he has established himself as the league’s top scorer and one of the game’s most respected players, winning the Selke a record fifth goal last season as the league’s best player.
