  Riley Cote’s last shift as an NHL player came on April Fools day. It was against the Islanders in the 3rd period of a game that would see the Islanders end their 15 game losing streak to the Flyers, 6-4. 11:52 into the 3rd Rockin’ Riles came out for a decent lengthed 47 second shift and ended it by drawing a slashing penalty against Trevor Gilles – the last player he ever fought in the NHL. It was only Riley’s 3rd game of 2010. There’s a lot to be surprised about when a 28 year-old retires. Unless I think back to players who unfortunately had to retire due to injury, I can’t recall a similar situation. In any sport.
