 GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Brett Hull choked back emotion and thanked "everyone who ever touched my life in the game," announcing his retirement Saturday from a career that left him the third-leading goal scorer in NHL history.
"I wish no one had to do this because it's so hard, it's hard because you never think you're going to grow older and be unable to live up to the expectations you set for yourself," he said.
The 41-year-old Hull, who had one assist in five games for the Phoenix Coyotes in his 20th NHL season, had to stop to gain control of his emotions, with his three children, fiance and several former teammates looking on.
