Former Hawks forward announces his retirement from the NHL
Martin St-Louis, who played on the Hawkesbury Hawks during the 1992-1993 season, announced his retirement after 17 seasons in the National Hockey League.
St-Louis' rise to the professional ranks started in Hawkesbury, where he scored an incredible 87 points in only 31 games.
Martin won the Stanley Cup in 2004 as a member of the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he spent most of his NHL career. He also won his first of two NHL scoring titles that season, earning him the Art Ross Trophy, as well as the Hart Memorial Trophy as the leagues' most valauble player, and the Lester B. Pearson (now Ted Lindsay) Award as the most valuable player as voted by his peers. St-Louis won another scoring title in 2013-2014
One of the "good guys" in the game, St-Louis won the Lady Byng trophy as the league's most gentlemanly player on 3 occasions as well.
The entire Hawkesbury Hawks organization would like to congratulate Martin on a wonderful career, which, it our minds, has a final destination at the Hockey Hall of Fame.
St-Louis' former teammate, Carl Bougie, did an interview on Friday, July 3rd on CBC Montreal' Daybreak with Andie Bennett and Ainslie McLellan.
