BREAKING: Edmonton Oilers 24-Year Old Rookie Star Retires Due to Personal Reasons

Despite an impressive AHL season with the Bakersfield Condors, where he led rookies in goals, Philp has chosen not to continue playing due to personal reasons.
Noah Philp is retiring from hockey.

Philp's decision comes as a surprise considering his consistent improvement over the past three seasons, culminating in a productive AHL campaign.
