Shane
RW Shane Doan, the former Arizona Coyotes captain, announced his
retirement from the NHL after 21 seasons.
The 40-year-old Doan only played for the Coyotes during his
career, dating back to before the franchise moved from Winnipeg
to Arizona in 1996. The forward was the seventh overall pick by
the Jets in 1995. Doan had been an unrestricted free agent after
the Coyotes informed him on June 19 that they would not be
re-signing him to focus on younger players. He made his
announcement in a first-person letter to fans published in the
Arizona Republic. Doan is the team's career leader in games
played (1,540), shots (3,945), goals (402), assists (570),
points (972), power-play goals (128) and game-winning goals
(69). He is tied for 14th for most games played in NHL history.
