While Yandle didn’t win a Stanley Cup, he was selected to three All-Star Games. The defenseman played for the Arizona Coyotes, New York Rangers, Florida Panthers and Philadelphia Flyers. He holds the record for most consecutive games played in the NHL with 989. He set the record in January.

He revealed his retirement in an interview with Barstool Sports’ Spittin’ Chiclets.
