A former Hurricane is calling it a career after 15 seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks after defenceman Brent Seabrook announced Friday he is unable to continue playing hockey because of injury.
Seabrook had surgery on his right shoulder as well as both hips and it’s been his right hip that has prevented the 35-year-old from Richmond B.C. from getting back on the ice.
Seabrook – who played for the Hurricanes from 2000 to 2005, won three Stanley Cups with the Blackhawks, scoring 103 goals and 464 points in 1,114 regular season games. He added 20 goals and 39 assists in 123 playoff appearances
Seabrook played 264 games with the Hurricanes, scoring 39 goals and 176 points.
