NEWARK, N.J. — Goaltender Jonathan Bernier has decided to retire after playing more than a decade in the NHL, a career that spanned six teams and included winning a Stanley Cup ring.
The 35-year-old announced his retirement in a social media post Monday, thanking the organizations who gave him an opportunity and family members for supporting him along the way.
“After 14 years, it’s time for me to hang up the pads,” Bernier wrote. “There are no words to express my gratitude to everyone who has been part of my hockey journey since day one. Without all of you I couldn’t have done it.
