After retiring from the NHL in August of this year, it was apparent that Czech professional ice hockey player David Krejčí still had plans to play the game, despite leaving the Boston Bruins after 16 seasons. However on Friday, his manager announced that he would be retiring entirely, citing health issues as the primary reason.
Sixteen seasons as a Boston Bruin, one Stanley Cup championship in 2011, and two bronze medals at the World Championship dressed for his country, David Krejčí is one of the most celebrated Czech ice hockey players to date. In August of this year, the Czech forward announced his retirement from the NHL.
