Mike Ricci announced his retirement today after 16 seasons. The neck surgery he recently had wasn’t enough to play last year with the Coyotes which was a shame: I was hoping to see him when Jeremy and I drove to San Antonio for the pre-season bash. Ricci was also a tough, gritty player and he could’ve made a difference for the Coyotes if he were well because I remember how tough he was during his stint with the Sharks.
Most Philly fans will always remember him as being one of the players traded to Quebec in exchange for Eric Lindros, another guy whose career in Dallas is in doubt.
Still no final word on Jeremy Roenick.
