Yesterday morning, former Arizona Coyotes captain and could-have-been Vancouver Canucks star Shane Doan announced his retirement from the NHL. Doan and the Coyotes parted ways in free agency, and no other team came forward to sign Doan.
With that, a career that is sure to culminate in a Hockey Hall of Fame induction came to an end. Doan scored 402 goals and 972 points in a career that started in 1995-96 — the final season for the original Winnipeg Jets franchise before they relocated to The Desert.
Doan will always be remembered for being one of the most loyal players ever.
