Leo Komarov officially leaves the NHL
Leo Komarov officially leaves the NHL and he was really emotional about it. Here's what he had to say:
«Toughest decision I ever made in my career... to leave all my teammates and trainers who have been like a family to me for the last 3 years. It hurts me more than anyone could think. Let's put all the rumors away. I made this decision myself. Nobody else did it for me.
I want to thank the Islanders organization for all the support. I want to say how happy I am that I got to know the boys- not just a few of them, I really mean the whole team. What unbelievable human beings you are. I also want to say an extra big thank you to Lou. I have never known anyone like him. He is always there to help you become a better person/player and I have a ton of respect for him. Big thank you to the fans who supported and cheered for me. It means a lot. I hope you guys are gonna win the cup.
Now I have signed with SKA in the KHL. I am really excited to join them soon and get games going.
To my family: I want to say the biggest thank you to my beautiful wife and kids for all the support you are giving me.»
