Bill Guerin announced his retirement from the NHL on Monday, ending a career that spanned 18 seasons and two Stanley Cup titles.

"I came across so many great teammates, so many great organizations -- a lot of organizations actually," Guerin said as he announced his decision before Monday's New Jersey Devils-Pittsburgh Penguins game at Consol Energy Center. "But two in particularly that are extremely special to me are the New Jersey Devils and Pittsburgh Penguins. "

That's understandable since he won a Cup with each of those franchises. Guerin began his career with the New Jersey Devils with a five-game stint during the 1991-92 season, a year after he left Boston College. He went on to record 429 goals and 427 assists (856 points) in a career that also wound through Edmonton, Boston, Dallas, St. Louis, San Jose, the New York Islanders and, finally, Pittsburgh.
