Howard announced it this morning: Becoming an NHL goalie was a childhood dream and after an incredible 14 years within the Red Wings organization, I ve decided to say farewell to playing professional hockey and move on to the next chapter, the 36-year-old Howard wrote. It has been the honor of a lifetime to play and I m forever thankful to the fans, everyone within the Red Wings organization, my teammates and my family for their ongoing support, loyalty and dedication. As I enter this new chapter in my life, I look forward to spending more time with my family, coaching my son s hockey team and new opportunities the future will hold. -Jimmy Howard via Detroit Red Wings Twitter account.
