Saw this on Twitter.

Update: I guess he retired back in December. (Was just looking for some Flames-related news).

An excellent Flame, I'll continue wearing his jersey to the Saddledome with pride.

If he doesn't get injured in 2017-18 it's entirely possible the Flames make the playoffs. The powerplay really struggled without him.

If the Flames regional broadcast contract switches from Sportsnet to TSN (and assuming Hrudey and Campbell stay with Rogers), Versteeg would be an excellent choice for the new Flames colour commentator.

Not sure which thread to post this. Kris Veesteeg is donating $100 cash to 50 families in Lethbridge who are affected by having to self isolate or are laid off due to COVID-19

I would say his career is underrated, but he deserves kudos for his beauty play on the ice and his phenomenal generosity off the ice.

Congratulations Kris! Enjoy your retirement and stay in southern Alberta because you are a great asset to the region.

Even though his retirement was previously announced, I guess he didn't make it official until today.

Talented player, a shame he had so many injuries in his career. Still, a really solid .6 ppg player and a two time champ. Total steal of a 5th round pick. I enjoyed him as a Flame too. Happy retirement Versteeg.

Hopefully he joins one of the broadcast teams or something, great personality.

On his IG Live interview with Ryan Leslie today, he explained that when they play together the previous year - every time he scored on him in practice he would go around the net and shout
“#### you Ells!”
Versteeg was alway a big chirper. I know a lot of guys on here and myself included thought it was said maliciously because he played poorly in Round 1 against Anaheim, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

He also shared other great stories in the interview and would recommend others to watch it while it’s still up during this time of zero sports.
