Chris Wideman had a lot of potential as an NHLer; his injuries had another plan for him though. After only 6 seasons in the NHL, the 34-year old has announced his retirement.
Veteran defenseman Chris Wideman announced his retirement from the NHL on Tuesday after six seasons. Wideman, 34, sat out last season due to a back injury.
The NHL began awarding the Conn Smythe Trophy to the most valuable player of the postseason beginning in the 1965 season. How many of the past winners can you name in six minutes?
It seems the NHL is in a good place. Ratings are up, talent levels are high, and the league added two teams to get up to 32 in the not-too-distant past.
Chris Wideman made the announcement today that he is retiring from the NHL after having played six NHL seasons with multiple teams. Defenseman Chris Wideman played for six NHL seasons with the Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, Edmonton Oilers, and Florida Panthers.
Last night, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins faced off. And for the second time in a row, Toronto avoided elimination by winning its game – without Auston Matthews – against the Bruins.
On this day of reckoning for the Canadiens, several players talk to media representatives. One of them? Chris Wideman, who didn’t play all season for the Habs.
Wideman is not a repeat offender, which likely helped his cause in this matter. He loses $3,750, and that forfeited money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
