    I remember watching Marian Hossa lead the Winterhawks to a Memorial Cup Championship.

    Marian Hossa has announced his retirement from the NHL.

    "I'm done playing hockey," the 39-year-old forward told Slovak newspaper Novy Cas. "I have a contract with Chicago for the next three years, but I have to watch my health, and my body says the comeback is not possible."

    Hossa, who had 1,134 points (525 goals, 609 assists) in 1,309 NHL games and won the Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks in 2010, 2013 and 2015, did not play this season because of a progressive skin disorder and side effects of medication to treat it. He was placed on long-term injured reserve Oct. 4.

    Arguably one of the best Winterhawks of all time, even if he only played 1 season for the team.

    I think that about Mike Vernon, and he only played 3 games in one Memorial Cup . :)

    I wonder if that cup has the same feeling for him as it did for other players who played more than 3 games.
