Jake Chelios announced his retirement from professional hockey on Wednesday, according to the NHL Alumni Association<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He’s the son of the legendary Chris, one of the best defenseman in NHL history.<\/p>\n

Jake was a Michigan State Spartan collegiately before joining the Toledo Walleye in the ECHL.<\/p>\n

With Toledo, Jake and his brother Dean played together.<\/p>\n

From there, Jake signed with the Chicago Wolves in the AHL.<\/p>\n

Jake signed with the Red Wings on July 1, 2018, a chance to follow in his dad’s footsteps.<\/p>\n

He made his NHL debut on March 29, 2019 and played in five regular season games.<\/p>\n

Jake recorded five blocked shots and seven hits across those appearances.<\/p>\n

After that, Jake headed to the Kontinental Hockey League and played for Kunlun Red Star.<\/p>\n

Now 34, Jake has decided his own career as a defenseman is over.<\/p>\n

He had tough skates to follow, given how great Chris was.<\/p>\n

But Jake carved out his own career path and played professional hockey for a decade, and that’s an accomplishment in and of itself.<\/p>\n
