Mike Comrie announced his retirement from the NHL on today, two weeks after undergoing a hip resurfacing procedure.

Comrie played 589 NHL regular season games with the Edmonton Oilers, Philadelphia Flyers, Phoenix Coyotes, Ottawa Senators, New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins, collecting 168 goals and 197 assists.

He had 10 points (4-6) in 32 career playoff games.

“My career has afforded me a series of phenomenal opportunities to play and become friends with some of the greatest people I have ever known and some of the greatest players who have ever played this game,” Comrie said in a statement released by his agent. “To have made the lasting friendships I enjoy today with so many of my former teammates is something that will stay with me for the rest of my life.”
