Sometimes, professional sports careers just don't work out, and that's unfortunately the case for a talented goaltender that now shifts his career aspirations. Back in 2015, the Montreal Canadiens had high hopes for young goaltender Michael McNiven, but unfortunately things just didn't work out well, as he would go on to play seven seasons in North America and overseas, but has now officially called it quits. McNiven made the announcement recently when he was appointed as an assistant with the Powell River Kings of the BCHL, with the 27-year old outlining a positive goal for his coaching role.

After being fired from his GM position with the Philadelphia Flyers, a new team in the NHL has hired Chuck Fletcher as their senior adviser. The Philadelphia Flyers have had little recent success making it into the Stanly Cup playoffs.
