Two-time Stanley Cup champion Kris Versteeg announced his retirement from professional hockey Tuesday.

“What a run it was," he said in a statement. "A kid from North Lethbridge who played on the streets every day, dreaming of playing in the NHL."

The 33-year-old spent 11 seasons in the NHL, last appearing in the 2017-18 campaign. He spent the majority of the last two seasons playing overseas.

Versteeg was a part of the 2010 Chicago Blackhawks' Cup-winning squad, tallying 14 points in 22 games during the playoffs. He was one of the club's many cap casualties after that season, getting traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs. His time with Toronto was short-lived, as he was dealt to the Philadelphia Flyers later that season before getting traded again to the Florida Panthers the following year.

The 5-foot-11 winger missed out on the second Stanley Cup of Chicago's dynasty in 2013 but returned to the Windy City in time to hoist the trophy in 2015. Following that season, he bounced around between the Carolina Hurricanes, Los Angeles Kings, and the Calgary Flames before his NHL career came to an end.

Versteeg tallied four 20-goal seasons, two 50-point seasons, and a total of 358 points in his 643-game career.
