Toby Petersen retires

[champeen]

It's entirely possible that nobody other than me cares about this, but I was a fan of his during his time with the Pens and then was lucky enough to coach mites with him this winter. I honestly can't imagine a more humble and genuine individual, and frankly, to have carved out a 14 year career in professional hockey given his size and his type-1 diabetes is just exemplary of his work ethic and determination. He's expressed a interest in coaching and I hope he gets a shot as an assistant somewhere. Just a super smart, thoughtful guy .......

Weird seeing Chara listed with 6 goals in 237 games, basically a 2 goal season for his first 3 seasons.

"We had all kind of opportunities and we didn't cash in," Senators Coach Jacques Martin said.

Great preparation for his tenure with the Penguins.

Also was a fan of Toby...tweeted that he hung'em up a couple days ago...good guy. I think I had just about every Toby Petersen hockey card...

He really made a nice career for himself in the Dallas organization.

I was at that hat trick game and for some reason, always remember it.

Did he retire just now, or is this old news?

I kid, I kid...
