Canadian goaltender Dustin Tokarski, who has also played in the NHL, has decided to end his playing career at the age of 36. Tokarski’s next job is already known, as the Carolina Hurricanes announces that they have hired Tokarski as a goaltending scout.
Last season, Tokarski played for three different teams in three different leagues. First, he played two games for AHL team Grand Rapids Griffins, then he moved to Germany to Löwen Frankfurt, playing five games, and the rest of the season was spent in Slovenia with HK Olimpija Ljubljana, where he played one regular season game and ten playoff games.
