Penguins defenseman Philippe Boucher has announced his retirement. Boucher will retire a champion and that fact helped him with his decision. "I have always admired athletes that have retired as champions and I am humbled to have the chance to count myself among them," Boucher said today in a statement. "I would like to take this opportunity to thank my teammates, my coaches and the organizations I played with over the years. I am going to miss being with the boys."
Boucher did not forget to thank the fans in his statement either. "I would also like to recognize the best fans in all of sports. I never took for granted what a privilege it is to play this game and how important the fans are."
Congratulations Philippe Boucher on going out a Champion.
