Brendan Guhle, the brother of Canadian defenseman Kaiden, made the decision to hang up his skates at the age of 25.
Also evolving in defense, the eldest of the family had been playing in Germany in the Deutsche Eishockey-Liga (DEL) since the beginning of the year since he had not found a contract in the National Hockey League (NHL ).
A second-round pick in 2015, he ultimately played 65 games with the Buffalo Sabers (2016-2019) and Anaheim Ducks (2018-2022). In total, he amassed 14 points, including four goals.
The California squad acquired him with a 2020 first-round pick over Brandon Montour at the 2019 trade deadline.
