Veteran defenseman Ward retires
Hockey Betting Lines
08/24/2010 -
Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Veteran defenseman Aaron Ward, who played 15
seasons, has decided to hang up his skates, according to the NHLPA.
Ward split last season between Anaheim and Carolina, netting one goal with 12
assists in 77 games. He recently underwent three surgeries to correct a knee
problem, but was unable to be ready for the upcoming season -- leading to his
decision to retire.
Since breaking into the league with Detroit during the 1993-94 season, the 37-
year-old native of Windsor, Ontario posted 44 goals and 151 points in 839
regular-season tilts with Detroit, Carolina, Boston, the Rangers and Anaheim.
The steady backliner also compiled four goals and 10 points in 95 playoff
contests.
"I'm very proud to have played for as long as I did in the NHL, with and
against the best players in the game," Ward said in a statement released on
the players' association site. "This game has left me with countless memories
and relationships, especially from those Stanley Cup winning teams in Carolina
and Detroit. Thank you to my family, fans, friends and teammates for all of
the great years."
Formerly the fifth-overall pick of the Winnipeg Jets in the 1991 draft, Ward
did not find a steady spot on the roster until 1996-97 with the Red Wings. He
won a pair of Cups, with Detroit in 1997 and 1998 and again with Carolina in
2006. He reached another Finals with the Hurricanes in 2002.
