T.J. Oshie Retires from NHL After 16 Seasons, Won 2018 Stanley Cup with Capitals

After 16 seasons in the NHL, star winger T.J. Oshie is officially hanging up his skates.

Oshie, who last played in 2023-24, announced on Monday that he is retiring from the NHL. He spent nine seasons with the Washington Capitals and won the 2018 Stanley Cup with the franchise after beginning his career with the St. Louis Blues.

He held a ceremony on Monday in Washington, D.C.

Oshie played 1,010 games in the NHL and produced 302 goals and 393 assists for 693 career points. During Washington's run to the Stanley Cup in 2018, he recorded eight goals and 13 assists across 24 postseason games. He was selected to his lone All-Star Game in 2020.

"After 17 unforgettable years in the NHL, I’ve decided to retire," Oshie said in a release. "I would like to thank the Washington Capitals and the St. Louis Blues for giving me the opportunity to play the game I love, all of my teammates who battled with me every night, my coaches who challenged me to be better every day, and the athletic trainers and equipment staff who got me ready to play. I also want to thank the fans, your energy and passion made every game memorable, and it was an honour to play in front of you."

In addition to his stellar career in the NHL, Oshie starred for Team USA in the 2014 Winter Olympics and put on an epic performance in a shootout against Russia in the preliminary round.

Oshie was also known for his involvement in community and charitable initiatives throughout his career, as he has supported several Alzheimer's fundraising and awareness initiatives in honor of his late father, Tim. The Capitals and Monumental Sports & Entertainment Foundation presented him with a $10,000 donation to the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation in honor of his retirement on Monday.
