Curtis Glencross chooses to retire from hockey [Video]

Curtis Glencross has decided to retire.

In the midst of watching Saturday night’s Battle of Alberta at the Dome with wife Tanya, the 32-year-old winger decided he would give up his pursuit of one last contract.

“I had a great time at the game, and that night, I decided I was officially done with it,” said Glencross, who played seven seasons with the Calgary Flames before being traded to the Washington Capitals at the 2014-15 NHL trade deadline.

“It was tough, but there was kind of closure. I just felt it was the right time to shut it down.
