Ray Whitney, who spent 22 seasons playing in the NHL and won a Stanley Cup with the Carolina Hurricanes in 2006, announced his retirement Wednesday.

"For the past 23 years I have had the privilege of earning my living playing hockey in the National Hockey League," Whitney said in a statement released by his agency, CAA Sports. "Along the way I have made countless memories and friendships, which I will always cherish. Every city I played in, the fans welcomed my family and me with open arms, and I couldn’t be more thankful for that."

I used to hate this guy in Carolina. He used to always light up against the Capitals. Its sad to see him retire as be was a brilliant player who put up some pretty good numbers. I know his performance was down a lot last year and as a result not many teams were willing to give him a shot.
