Kevin Shattenkirk (Boston University) has called it a career. The New Rochelle, N.Y. native recently announced his retirement after 14 NHL seasons and a Stanley Cup championship with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2020.
A first-round draft choice of the Colorado Avalanche in 2007, he also played for St. Louis, Washington, the New York Rangers, Anaheim and Boston, along with Lake Erie (AHL) and TPS Turku (Finland). Shattenkirk, 35, did not play this season, making his final appearance in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs last spring with Boston.
A six-foot, 203-pound defenseman, Shattenkirk tallied 103 goals and 381 assists for 484 points to go along with 544 penalty minutes in 952 NHL regular-season games. He added 8-40—48 points and 47 PIM in 91 Stanley Cup Playoff contests. He also skated for the United States in the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, and in the 2015 NHL All-Star Game.
A member of BU's 2009 NCAA title team, when he also earned Second Team All-America accolades, Shattenkirk recorded 18-60—78 points over three seasons with the Terriers, after prepping with the U.S. National Team Development Program, the Brunswick School and the New Jersey Devils youth organization. His older brother, Keith, played for both the Taft School and Princeton University.
