Hayley Wickenheiser is a first ballot hall of famer in hockey and as much as Team Canada and the game will miss her, she will likely miss it just as much.
This is the sport that she has spent the majority of her adult life playing and she will surely be involved in other ways off the ice, but that’s obviously a totally different feeling. So, after she received praise from everyone in the hockey world upon the announcement, she thought it fitting to give her thank you to the sport of hockey and everyone involved in it.
Wickenheiser also posted another message to Twitter on Friday, but this one feels a little more personal.
We’re excited to see where her post playing career takes her, because this definitely we’re sure this isn’t the last we’ve seen of the Canadian hockey legend.
