Hockey Hall-of-Famer Martin St.Louis has left the Columbus Blue Jackets after serving just one season as a part-time consultant. St. Louis, who won a Stanley Cup with Tampa Bay in 2004, says he wants to spend more time with his family.
"I loved working with the team last season and I want to thank Jarmo [Kekalainen], John [Tortorella] and everyone at the [Blue Jackets] for giving me this opportunity," said St. Louis. I would have liked to be back, but my priority remains the family. This commitment would have made the situation too difficult this year."
Part of St. Louis' job with Columbus was to act as a bridge between players and head coach John Tortorella. He now gets to spend more time with his three sons.
