Let's make it official. I did not play last year due to a back injury but I am officially announcing my retirement from the NHL," Callahan wrote. "Reflecting on my career, it's hard to wrap my head around how lucky and grateful I am for being able to live out my childhood dream for 13 amazing years.
The speedy Callahan was drafted in 2004, in the fourth-round by the New York Rangers. Callahan collected 386 points in 757 career games.
At 35, Callahan would have loved to play a couple more seasons but unfortunately a back injury has shelved him since 2019. That year he only played 52 games and registered 17 points.
Congrats to Callahan on a great career and kudos to him for living his dream!
