BEMIDJI PIONEER — The tweet went out at 10:52 a.m. Wednesday from the Pittsburgh Penguins.
“Matt Cullen: his story, his words.”
The video accompanied with the tweet began with the sounds of skating outdoors and the former Moorhead Spuds hockey standout staring directly into the camera.
“Let me tell you my story,” Cullen said to begin the video.
What followed were clips of him raising the Stanley Cup three times, his first NHL goal with Anaheim, his last NHL goal with Pittsburgh and clips in between with Carolina, Florida and Minnesota.
“There’s only one more part of my story left to write: the end,” Cullen said in the video.
In the video, Cullen said it was an honor to put on an NHL jersey, though getting to be part of the lives of his teammates, coaches, trainers and fans has been his greatest honor. He said he was in awe of everyone who helped with his dream over the years.
