NASHVILLE PREDATORS MIKE FISHER TO RETIRE
Nashville Predators captain Mike Fisher will retire from the National Hockey League after 17 seasons. After the Preds’ Stanley Cup season came to an end, 37-year-old Fisher was still on the fence about whether or not he will return to the NHL. Fisher did not score a goal in the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs but did put together a solid season with 18 goals and 24 assists. Goalie Pekka Rinne gushed about the captain as they packed up their lockers. The 37-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. The Predators first-year captain has played 17 seasons in the NHL and in 1,088 games. Fisher is married to country superstar Carrie Underwood. They have a 2-year-old son.
