Chicago Blackhawks defender Brent Seabrook announced his retirement from hockey on Friday, ending his 15-year career in the National Hockey League (NHL).

The 35-year-old played his last game in November 2019, having been bothered by several injuries, including in his groin and back. In fact, he’s been under the knife three times since that time, and General Manager Stan Bowman said he’s very concerned about his condition a few weeks ago. The treatments imposed on him to treat his problems in the right hip joint did not lead to the expected results.

“I am so proud to have played all my seasons in the NHL with the Blackhawks in Chicago. It was an honor for me to play the sport I love with my teammates and the fans I love in a city that my family and I love. After multiple surgeries, countless hours of fitness and training.” In an effort to get back to my satisfactory level, I decided I couldn’t continue playing hockey. This is the best for me and my loved ones.

He set foot at United Center as a rookie at the age of 20 and has spent his entire career with the Black Hawks. Bowman added that Brent Seabrook gave everything to his teammates and to the city of Chicago. His dedication to winning, his passion for hockey and his ability to be a captain brought him all in. Three Stanley Cups are home here Due to the sacrifices he made to his club, Brent saw his career cut short by injuries. […] Without him, Black Hawk would not have won these three cups. He ended his career as not only one of the best defenders in the history of the franchise, but also one of the Black Hawks’ best players.
