RALEIGH, N.C. (AP)—Aaron Ward(notes), a member of three Stanley Cup championship teams, is retiring from the NHL after 13 seasons.

Ward announced his retirement in a statement released through the NHL Players Association on Tuesday.

Ward spent most of last season with the Carolina Hurricanes, where he won the Stanley Cup in 2006. He was traded in March to Anaheim.

The 37-year-old Ward was also a member of Detroit’s back-to-back Cup teams in 1997 and 1998. According to the NHLPA release, Ward had a third knee surgery after the season and wouldn’t have been ready for the start of next year.

He wasn't a bad player in his day but it was definitely his time to retire. Liked his hip checks and physicality but he always bitched out when it came to fighting. Didn't mind seeing him getting punched in the face by Walker when he played for Boston.

    • I presented that scenario because this is a home game and we seemed to have improved in some capacity in that area as of recently. The problem with the possibility of sweeping the Bucs is this team has had a habit of quickly falling victim to momentum shifts. The Bucs are coming off a bitter loss the same as the Panthers but the Bucs have a much better proven track record this time of year and they have performed when the pressure is on unlike our Panthers. We have a shot against the Seahawks here in BOA but that is a matchup that could quickly get out of hand because they are a well coached team and that goes back to the momentum shifts I mentioned. I just don't see this team beating the Bucs in their stadium to close the season. Tall order to say the least.
    • I’d give it another year for Sanders and Evans, I don’t much care what you do with Tremble’s spot. Let him have another year or maybe replace him. Haven’t looked at his contract so that may be the determining factor. 
    • Following the crazy up down pattern we finish 9-8 with an improbable sweep of TB, and lay an egg in the home playoff game.  I don’t know if I can sign on to sweeping TB but I suppose it’s possible, they aren’t really that good this year.    ps I can buy beating TB Sunday and losing to Seattle.  Then it just gets to can you fluke one game. Any given Sunday. So we’ll see.
