Veteran forward Kyle Clifford announced his retirement after 13 seasons in the NHL on Friday.

He’s not leaving the league, however, as he will serve in a player development role with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Clifford, 34, last played in the NHL with the Maple Leafs in 2022-23 and spent the past two years with the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League. The enforcer had eight points in 17 games with the Marlies last season.

A two-time Stanley Cup winner with Los Angeles, Clifford totaled 144 points (66 goals, 78 assists) and 905 penalty minutes in 753 career games with the Kings, Maple Leafs and St. Louis Blues. He was selected by Los Angeles in the second round of the 2009 NHL Draft.
