BOSTON -- Maybe he will run a marathon. He probably won't be coaching. For now, Patrice Bergeron is content to be the "Uber driver for the family," and that's a pretty good feeling.
"It's been an amazing ride, 20 years, but also hockey brings you a lot of pressure and stress," he said on Wednesday at a TD Garden news conference a day after he announced his retirement. "So, it will be a nice change to just be able to be the Uber driver for the family for a little bit and just relax."
A soon-to-be Hall of Famer who centered the first line on the best team in hockey during his final season, Bergeron announced on Tuesday that he would not return next season.
