Mike Ricci announces his retirement after 17 seasons in the NHL. The former first round draft pick of the Philadelphia Flyers leaves the game after not being able to recover from his neck surgery that took place before last season.
He spent the majority of his career with the Quebec Nordiques/Colorado Avalance and the San Jose Sharks franchises. He was part of the multiplayer deal that allowed the Flyers to acquire the services of Eric Lindros and that sent him and others to the Nordiques.

Hell, for fifty bucks, I'll abandon my looming sponsorship with Keds for a chance to represent the swoosh.

dislike John Tortorella and I am not rooting for him to fail. What I am
is Anti-Sather and the nonsense that has been repeatedly been pulled on
Ranger fans during his era.To see him say that he is willing to
trade some of the young players for the "right player" should scare
