    Ford Final Five Facts: Former Bruins Cause Trouble In Game With Blackhawks

    It was going to happen someday, and it happened Tuesday: Patrice Bergeron announced his retirement.

    The 2011 Stanley Cup champion released a letter dedicated to his time with the Boston Bruins, his 19-year NHL journey and his family.

    The Bruins released a heartfelt tribute to Bergeron on Twitter as the 38-year-old ends his hockey career with six Selke Trophies and an Olympic gold medal.
