Patrice Bergeron Reveals The Real Reason Why He Retired
Last month marked the official end of an era as Boston Bruins' veteran forward, Patrice Bergeron, decided to retire after the 2022-23 season.
Although the regular season saw a record-breaking 65 victories, the Bruins were surprisingly eliminated in 7 games by the Florida Panthers in Round 1 of the playoffs.
Bergeron's emotional postgame moment with teammates and fans at TD Garden left a lasting impression, highlighting his class and defensive prowess as one of the NHL's finest forwards.
In a recent interview, Bergeron shared that his body's signals led him to retire:
"I've spoken with a lot of people over the past year, I've had several very good conversations with people who had different opinions. What always came back was: "You will know when it's the right time to retire." I've always been someone who listens to their intuition and heart and I felt it was time to move on. Sometimes, the body sends us messages."
"My motivation was waning this summer and I felt like I was listening to the signs my body was sending me. I did not miss my workouts and when it had been a while since I had set foot on an ice rink, I did not miss it either. I was waiting to see if the motivation would come back, but it never did."
Happy retirement Bergy!
