Veteran Goalie officially announces retirement
Long time NHL goaltender Carter Hutton officially announced his retirement today at the age of 36.
"Honestly, I've been preparing myself for hockey to be over in some aspect for a while The NHL has evolved into a young man's league. The average age is now in the early 20s, so I know that this job wouldn't be a lifelong one for me. Ultimately, I suffered an ankle injury in early 2021, which made the decision a lot easier for me. It restricted a lot of the mobility I needed to be as effective as I once was. This, compiled with a few other things helped me decide on retirement."

Hutton's final season came with the Arizona Coyotes which he only made it into 3 games last season. His numbers were not that great with a 7.76 GAA & .741 SV%, and also suffered some injuries.
Hutton had a great career as a backup goaltender for the Blackhawks, Predators, Blues, Sabres & Coyotes, which he went 94-90-27.
He was an undrafted goaltender who got his first shot at the NHL in 2012 with the Blackhawks and turned that into a successful career.
Congratulations Hutton, enjoy your retirement!
