Iron man Keith Yandle announces retirement from pro hockey
It's the end of the line for defenceman Keith Yandle. The 36-year-old, who is the NHL's current Iron Man Streak holder with 989 consecutive games played, announced his retirement during an appearance on Spittin' Chiclets Monday.
Yandle was initially a 4th round pick (105th overall) of the Phoenix Coyotes back in 2005. Besides the Coyotes, he also suited up for the New York Rangers, the Florida Panthers, and the Philadelphia Flyers. He played a total of 1109 regular season games in the NHL, scoring 103 goals and 619 points. Yandle played another 58 post season games, getting 6 goals and 36 points.
Yandle's Iron Man Streak will likely be broken by Phil Kessel of the Vegas Golden Knights early in the upcoming season. Kessel currently sits a 982 consecutive games.
