Logan Couture, captain of the San Jose Sharks, announced his retirement from professional hockey during a heartfelt press conference on April 15. Citing an injury that prevented him from continuing to play, Couture expressed gratitude for his career in the NHL, sharing emotional anecdotes about his early dreams and the people who influenced his journey. He thanked various coaches and staff members who played pivotal roles in his development, illustrating the ties he formed and the lessons learned throughout his time with the Sharks.
My career of playing hockey has come to an end. I'm not physically able to play anymore. It's tough. It sucks, but it is what it is.
I loved and cherished every single moment I got to play in this league. The NHL is everything that I thought it would be when I was a kid.
I was also fortunate that first year, Todd pulled me into his office... he said, 'I have something for you to do... and when you find that thing, that's what you're going to work on in practice.'
