Marc Savard officially announces retirement
Years after his last NHL game, Marc Savard has officially announced his retirement after 13 seasons and 807 games.
The 40-year-old last played for the Boston Bruins back in 2010-11, when concussion-related issues sidelined him indefinitely. His final contract - which later became property of the Florida Panthers and New Jersey Devils - expired last summer.
Here's what Savard posted on Twitter in regards to the announcement:

Drafted 91st overall by the New York Rangers in 1995, Savard recorded 207 goals and 499 assists with the Blushirts, Calgary Flames, Atlanta Thrashers, and Bruins.
Sidelined by a concussion in 2010, he returned during the playoffs and scored a memorable overtime goal for the Bruins.
Savard's name is on the Stanley Cup after appearing in 25 game for the Bruins in 2010-11, a season that culminated in a championship series win over Vancouver.
