BREAKING: 1000-Game Veteran Announces His Retirement From the NHL

Zach Parise is one of the all-time NHL players of the last 20 years, being the face of the New Jersey Devils from 2005-2012, then the Minnesota Wild from 2012-2021. His long career, though, will come to an end after this season, as he has announced that this will be his final run.

Parise is one of the greats in the NHL and has played in 1229 games over the course of his career. He has recorded 430 goals and tallied 450 assists for a total of 880 points to this point, and that total will only go up in his remaining games with the Avalanche.

The announcement will definitely be fuel for Colorado to make a long push for Parise in the playoffs, and we will see if he can win one Cup before he retires.
