I mean, to be clear, this comes from team Finland's head coach who reluctantly related the information in the press conference where they made their Sochi list public. So Kipper had told him that he's retiring and if the Flames have not said anything by the time the list is revealed, the coach can say it.

That's correct. I'd like to add that the coach started his comment by stating that he had talked with Kipper "earlier in the spring", and that's when Kipper told him of his plans.
