Longtime NHL winger Carl Hagelin retires at 35 due to lingering eye injury

Hagelin suffered a serious eye injury during a March 2022 practice that required multiple surgeries.
The eye injury kept Hagelin out of game action for over a year before he announced his retirement.
He underwent additional hip surgery last year to address a chronic hip issue.
Over his 11-year career, Hagelin won two Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
In an Instagram post, Hagelin expressed gratitude for his NHL career and support from teammates.
