CHRIS STEWART TESTIMONY

Twitter Post Announcing Retirement:

I would like to formally announce that today after 13 years of playing professional hockey and 668 nhl games I'm retiring. I plan to elaborate and fully explain when I find all the words I have to say because my journey and experiences deserve it. Hockey literally saved my LIFE!! For now I'd like to personally thank all 7 organizations for believing in me. To all my teammates: the battles, the dressing room banter, the dinners on the road, someone constantly complaining, the laughs!!! Man a lot of laughs. Those moments I'll cherish forever!! To my agent Eustace King and O2K sports, thank you for standing by me since day one and always being honest. To my brother, Growing up I always wanted to be like my big brother. Thanks for setting the bar high. I'm so proud seeing you on tv everyday and the role model you are for today's youth!! To my dad/sisters, I don't think there was a game of mine my dad has ever missed on tv or a game on the East coast that he or my sisters didn't come to in person. One of my proudest moments was scoring a goal in the ACC and walking up those stairs after the game to 40 ppl waiting for me. To my wife, thank you for putting me and my career first and following me around the world on this crazy journey, whether it was trades, waivers, Europe you were always there to make sure me and our boys had everything we needed I look forward to being home more with our beautiful family To my sons Christian, Connor and Cannon I'm going to miss seeing you guys on the glass in warm ups and the look of joy on your faces. All I ever wanted to do is make you proud. Throughout my career I've prided myself on being a good teammate and treating others with respect. I have built and maintained many relationships that have opened up some great doors for me post hockey.
I'm excited to share some stuff soon!
