Justin Braun's retirement marks the end of an era for the Philadelphia Flyers defensemen. Braun, who spent three seasons with the Flyers, announced his retirement from the NHL after a 13-season career.
Braun made his NHL debut with the San Jose Sharks in 2010, where he spent nine seasons before joining the Flyers. He played a vital role in the Flyers' defensive lineup during his time in Philadelphia, known for his solid defensive play and penalty-killing ability.
Braun's short stint with the New York Rangers in the 2021-22 season was followed by his return to Philadelphia, where he would finish his career. In 842 regular-season games, he scored 199 points and established himself as a reliable stay-at-home defenseman.
As Braun joins the NHL Alumni Association, the Flyers will miss his steady humble personality, but his contributions to the team and the league will always be remembered.
