Matt Dumba, a 32-year-old defenseman, has announced his retirement from the NHL after a 13-season career that saw him play for five different teams, according to ESPN.
Dumba's career highlight came in 2020, when he was awarded the King Clancy Memorial Trophy, an honor given annually to the NHL player judged to have best exemplified leadership qualities both on and off the ice.
Over more than a decade in the league, Dumba built a reputation as a physical, offensively capable blueliner who moved between multiple organizations during his career.
His decision to step away closes out a tenure during which he was recognized not only for his on-ice play but for his leadership off the ice as well.
No further details about Dumba's future plans, including any potential move into coaching, broadcasting, or a front-office role, were immediately available.
