NHL Note - Arizona Coyotes Doan, Shane

Aug 31, 2017 - 8:34 AM RW Shane Doan, the former Arizona Coyotes captain, announced his retirement from the NHL after 21 seasons.

The 40-year-old Doan only played for the Coyotes during his career, dating back to before the franchise moved from Winnipeg to Arizona in 1996. The forward was the seventh overall pick by the Jets in 1995.

He made his announcement in a first-person letter to fans published in the Arizona Republic. Doan is the team's career leader in games played (1,540), shots (3,945), goals (402), assists (570), points (972), power-play goals (128) and game-winning goals (69). He is tied for 14th for most games played in NHL history.
