Default Roman Hamrlik to retire
via Czech Reporter Roman Jedlicka

Roman Jedlicka ‏@jedli 6h Roman Hamrlik calls it a career. He will officially say it at the press conference in Montreal next week.


Was a great stabilizing force for Phaneuf. Wish him the best.

Wow. Good d-man in his prime and was a solid pairing for Phaneuf entering the league. Never minded him on or off the Flames.

All seriousness, he had a good career. Was great when he was with the Flames. Good luck to him whatever he does.

He was also one of the biggest free agent signings the team was able to muster at the time and IMO it helped improve the image of the club as a destination at a time we were struggling to lure players.

Agreed.

Amonte and McCarty signings that first year post Cup was showing that the team success the season before was starting to pay off as far as the team's reputation; the Hamrlik one was more important because of the fact they had a solid mentor, playing in his prime, ideal for Phaneuf to emulate.

Solid, underrated player for the Flames and after.

Also, Roman was one of the guys that criticized Fehr and stood by his comments, not caring about the thinly veiled threats that he knew would be coming as far as blowback from other members of the PA.

Really liked Hamrlik and as a fan appreciated his comments during the lockout. It took a lot of courage and i thank him for it.

Awesome career.

At first glance I read that as Roman Horak.

So who is the active leader in puck-over-the-glass delay of game penalties now?

He was really really good from 1998-2006/07.

Wish him the best.

Don't think he is HOF material, but not so far off.

he is #32 in GP
he is #31 in d-man scoring
he is #84 in all-time shots

I always thought that he was a good player, but more importantly he made his d partner a better player by filling in the gaps in the other player's game.

I don't want to say that he was under rated, because he wasn't, but perhaps under appreciated is more apt.

Good luck Roman!
