Hockey Club Lugano announces that Justin Schultz has informed the club of his decision to end his career immediately due to personal reasons and return to Canada.
The Canadian defenseman (826 NHL games, two-time Stanley Cup winner with the Pittsburgh Penguins) joined Cornèr Arena during the early November league break and has since played eight games with the bianconeri, recording six assists.
Here’s what the 34-year-old from British Columbia had to say:
"My decision is entirely personal. After discussions with my family, I’ve decided to retire and return to Canada. I thank Hockey Club Lugano for their professionalism and respect for my decision, and I wish the club and the team the best in regaining success."
Disheartened by this unexpected development, Hockey Club Lugano has no choice but to respect the personal decision and terminate the professional relationship. The club is currently exploring market options to find a replacement.
Out of respect for the player’s choice, neither the club nor Justin Schultz will make further comments on the matter.
