Rich Peverley Announces Retirement, Will Join Dallas Stars Player Development Staff

The former Stars forward will work with amateur prospects in junior hockey and the NCAA after hanging up the skates.

Former Dallas Stars forward Rich Peverley announced his retirement Friday, but he will be staying with the Stars in a player development role in the front office.

Peverley went into cardiac arrest on the Stars bench a little less than 18 months ago and never returned to play. He worked out with the team and with the Stars medical staff since that incident to try and return to the sport, but he told Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News that he couldn't get enough of a guarantee to return to play.
