Peca, 2002 gold medalist, retires
 
Michael Peca, a two-time Selke Trophy winner, announced his official NHL retirement Tuesday, ending a 13-season NHL career that was highlighted by an Olympic gold medal in 2002.
 
"I'm not sad by any means," Peca said. "Several months ago, I came to the decision I wasn't going to play anymore. Today's really just a day that I made a public statement. For me, it was so every time I run into old friends, they quit asking me if I'm done or not.
 
"Now they've got the answer," he said. "It's kind of like a mass e-mail."
 
Peca, who turns 36 in March, had 465 points (176 goals, 289 assists) and 798 penalty minutes in 864 regular-season games with Vancouver, Buffalo, the New York Islanders, Edmonton, Toronto and Columbus. His feisty, two-way game was underlined by winning the Frank J. Selke Trophy as the NHL's top defensive forward in 1997 and 2002.
 
"The game has given me everything I've got," Peca told ESPN.com Tuesday from his home in Buffalo. "I'll be forever thankful for the time I spent in the game. I don't think a day will go by where I won't spend at least a few moments of the day reminiscing about the time I had."

"I enjoy coaching the young kids and being a part of youth hockey. It is a great experience just to give back to the game and to these little guys. It has been a lot of fun for me. It has been time consuming because we travel quite a bit with the team. But it has been a joy for me to coach these kids and teach them what I know." -- Mario Lemieux
