Former Blackhawks forward Brad Richards announces retirement

After 15 seasons in the NHL, Brad Richards is calling it a career.

The former Blackhawks forward and two-time Stanley Cup champion announced his retirement on Wednesday afternoon.

Richards released this statement on his decision:

“I want to thank the fans and the five organizations I have played for: Tampa Bay, Dallas, and the three original six teams — the New York Rangers, Chicago, and Detroit. During my time with those teams I met many great people. I also want to thank the staff and management in those organizations for all the help and support they gave me.
