The Carolina Hurricanes will retire Eric Staal's No. 12 jersey at some point this season.
Longtime NHL forward Eric Staal has signed a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Carolina Hurricanes, the team announced on Tuesday.
Even today, Staal ranks first in team history in goals , assists points and games played . He was also a key piece of the Hurricanes' 2006 Stanley Cup run, scoring 28 points in 25 games to help the franchise win its first NHL championship. “From the time I arrived in Raleigh at 18 years old and throughout my 12 years there, I felt the love and support of the fans and organization in a way that will always feel special to me. There was no doubt in my mind that when it became time to hang up my skates, I would want to retire as a Carolina Hurricane."
“Eric is a uniquely central figure in franchise history,” general manager Eric Tulsky said. “Throughout his time in the Triangle, he made an immeasurable impact on his teammates, the organization and the community. We look forward to raising number 12 to the rafters and celebrating the career of a man who has meant so much to hockey fans in North Carolina.”
