Deciding to walk away from the sport of hockey, especially when you've done it Professional level for a long time is a hard decision, but it's one that every hockey player has to make. Sometimes if you're lucky you can choose to come out of retirement for one last hurrah, even that has to end at some point, though.
According to Stephane Turcot Of TVA Sports, Legendary enforcer, Donald Brashear has retired from professional hockey for the second time following a comeback last season in the LNAH; Take a look.
Brashear, 52, skated in 24 games last season with the Jonquiere Marquis, putting up a total of eight points, including two goals and six assists. He will now join the new expansion team in the LNAH that is to be based out of Quebec as an assistant coach.
Coming out of retirement at the age of 52 years old to lace them up in a professional lead while still being able to fight and put your body on the line the way Brashear did is certainly remarkable. What an end to a legendary career going out on his own terms.
