Icon48 Chris Stewart retires

Played with Philly this year. Spent a few weeks with Calgary at the conclusion of the 2017/18 season. Was a really good power forward at his peak with St Louis and Colorado.

Pretty sweet backyard setup too.

I felt like he always scored against us.

12 goals and 10 assists in 36 games against Calgary, but 10 of those goals were between 2009-2010, including a hattrick I remember on Henrik Karlsson.

Pretty good career and though his offensive numbers dropped off fairly early on, he worked hard to keep his career going. Not a lot of players find themselves playing in Europe for two stints during their career and work their way back to the NHL both times.

Also, from Reddit, he had a funny superstition:

I have to wonder how many times he ran someone over doing that.

I found it amusing when he finally became a Flame, it seemed like his name was linked to us year after year during his prime, so it was like it was destined to be.

That's Anthony, his brother.

It was actually called the Stewie shuffle.

I can’t be the only person here with an autographed Flames’ Chris Stewart jersey can I be?

I remember really wanting him during his draft year.

He likely didn't even know you were interested in him. You should have sent him flowers or maybe held a boombox above your head outside his home.

He really worked his bag off for the Flames (or so he said he would)

Best year was the one before Colorado traded for him. He either had a fight or a goal or assist almost every single game. He played a reckless style which we all know is hard to keep up for an extended period. I liked him. Great career!

Short retirement! He has taken a job with the Philadelphia Flyers as a player development coach.

Colorado traded him to St Louis that year
