Antoine Vermette, who won the Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2015, announced his retirement from the NHL on Thursday.
Chicago acquired Vermette in a trade with the Arizona Coyotes on Feb. 28, 2015, and he scored the winning goals in Games 1 and 5 of the Blackhawks' six-game series victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Cup Final.
The 36-year-old had 515 points (228 goals, 287 assists) in 1,046 games during 14 NHL seasons as a forward with the Ottawa Senators, Columbus Blue Jackets, Coyotes, Blackhawks and Anaheim Ducks. He had 28 points (14 goals, 14 assists) in 97 Stanley Cup Playoff games.
Vermette, taken in the second round (No. 55) by the Senators in the 2000 NHL Draft, had 16 points (eight goals, eight assists) in 64 games with the Ducks last season.
"It is with great enthusiasm that I look towards the future and feel a profound joy to finally be able to spend more time with my loved ones, my wife and my kids," Vermette told the NHL Players' Association website.
