After 14 seasons in the NHL, goalie Cam Ward is hanging up the pads. Ward has signed a one-day contract with Carolina, so he can retire as a member of the Hurricanes.
Ward spent 13 seasons with the Canes, before playing one year with the Chicago Blackhawks. At 21-years-old, Ward helped Carolina claim the 2006 Stanley Cup, while he was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player in the playoffs for his efforts.
“It was an honour and a privilege to wear the Hurricanes jersey for 13 years,” Ward said via a team release. “Throughout it all, what stayed clear to me was my love for this organization, this city and this fan base. It is why my family and I call Raleigh home, and will continue to call it home. I appreciate all of the support the fans gave me throughout the highs and the lows. I thank you."
