NHL news: Paul Kariya, Todd Marchant retire
The NHL said goodbye two memorable players yesterday – each of which played a very different role during his playing career. Paul Kariya announced his retirement.

He won the Lady Byng Trophy as the league’s most gentlemanly player twice.
Todd Marchant also called it quits yesterday. The two-way forward, now 37, scored 186 goals over 18 seasons with the Rangers, Oilers, Blue Jackets and Ducks. He won the Stanley Cup in 2007.
