Jere Lehtinen Retires

After 14 and a half seasons in the Dallas Stars' organization, with one President's Trophy (regular-season championship), a Stanley Cup and three Selke trophies as the league's best defensive forward, Finnish two-way superstar Jere Lehtinen announced his retirement earlier today.

He is the only Finland native to have won both a Stanley Cup and a World Championship gold medal - take that, Jari Kurri and Teemu Selanne!

He is also a huge Slayer fan, as proven in the video below:




I wish him the best in his after-career. He was a true, honest, hard-working pleasure to watch for all this time.
