Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury releases a major career announcement
Marc-Andre Fleury makes an announcement regarding his retirement
Marc-Andre Fleury has made an official decision that the 2024-25 season will be his last in the National Hockey League.
At the end of the 2024 regular season, Fleury stated that retirement was near, but that he wasn't quite ready to put the pads away for good.
In mid-April, he signed a one-year extension with the Minnesota Wild following the completion of his 2-year deal that he signed with the Chicago Blackhawks at the 2022 trade deadline.
«I'm not doing this again. «No, this is it.» Said Fleury.
«I am more certain than last year, It's going to be the last."
«I'm going to try to enjoy my last year, have fun, win games, I think the games to be play will be interesting. I could end up second [on the NHL's all-time list in saves]. But it's not a big deal. It's not something I absolutely need to achieve.»
Regardless if Fleury doesn't reach that milestone, he will still retire as one of the greatest to ever lace up the pads, this past season he even passed Patrick Roy on the NHL's all-time win list for goaltenders.
Hopefully the Minnesota Wild can make the playoffs for Fleury's final season in the NHL.
