Lemieux Hanging Them Up
Permalink Closed

One of the greatest NHL players in history is calling it a career.


The Pittsburgh Penguins have called a 2pm et press conference where Mario Lemieux will announce his retirement.


Lemieux has been out of the lineup for over a month with an irregular heartbeat diagnosed as atrial fibrillation.


Lemieux first retired in 1997 following years of back pain, a rare bone infection and a bout with cancer, but unexpectedly came out of retirement five years.

He did not play a full, injury-free season upon his return, missing most of two seasons with hip problems and another full season when the NHL shut down last year.



He recorded seven goals and 15 assists for 22 points in 26 games this season with the disappointing Penguins.


More details to follow.-tsn .ca


Sidenote- Lemieux expected to be in lineup of barry33's Oldtimers team Thursday night.

Sad to see him go again. Does this mean they are going to give the C to Sidney?
