Former

defenseman Ryan Whitney has called it a career at age 32.
According to NHL.com, Whitney hangs up his skates after 10 NHL seasons and 481 regular-season games with Pittsburgh, Anaheim, Edmonton and Florida. In all he tallied 50 goals and 209 assists to go with 383 penalty minutes, according to HockeyDB.com. He announced on Twitter that part of the reason he was retiring was ankle injuries.
