Subban Gets A Personal Training Session From The Rock “I remember my dreams of playing in the NHL and winning a Stanley Cup, similar to the guys on the Don Cherry Rock’em Sock’em tapes at the end of every volume, with the black eyes, broken bones, and tears of joy,” the 33-year-old wrote. “To this day, I still dream about it.” “However, the end of this chapter is closing and after 13 years in the NHL, I have made the decision to retire,” he continued.

Subban explained, “I never looked at myself or ever felt I was ‘just a hockey player.’ I always looked at myself as a person who happened to play hockey.

Having that perspective allowed me to enjoy every shift like it was my last, celebrate every goal with emotion, and play every game as if someone paid to watch me play who had never seen me play before.” Thanking his family, the league and all his fans for all their support over the years, the hockey player wrote, “I look forward to the road ahead, and the many exciting opportunities to come.
