Former NHL all-star Eric Staal is retiring after 18 seasons.
The Carolina Hurricanes announced Tuesday that Staal had signed a one-day contract to retire as a member of the organization that originally drafted him No. 2 overall in 2003 and won a Stanley Cup with him three years later.
The Hurricanes said they will retire Staal\'s No. 12 jersey in the upcoming season.
