Three-time Stanley Cup winning defensemen Brent Seabrook spoke to the press on Friday morning after the announcement that his hockey career was over. It was as emotional as you’d expect from a player who put his heart and soul into playing hockey for 15 years and helped champion a team to three Stanley Cups but whose body just couldn’t continue.

A true warrior, Seabrook underwent three surgeries between December 2019 and February 2020 on both hips and his right shoulder trying to make it back onto the ice.
