02/07/2012 - San Jose, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former San Jose captain Owen Nolan officially announced his retirement on Tuesday.
Nolan disclosed his decision during a press conference at HP Pavilion, the home of the Sharks, the team for which he spent a large portion of his career.
"When your body won't do what your mind and your heart is willing to do, it's time to move on," said a teary-eyed Nolan. "I've enjoyed every minute of it."
The top overall pick by the Quebec Nordiques in 1990, Nolan last played in the NHL with the Minnesota Wild in 2009-10. He attempted a comeback last fall, signing a professional tryout contract with the Vancouver Canucks after a year in the Swiss National League A, but was cut.
Nolan, who will turn 40 Sunday, was a member of the Nordiques when the franchise relocated to Colorado in 1995, and the newly dubbed Avalanche traded Nolan early in the ensuing season to San Jose, where he quickly became the face of the team.
The right winger represented the Sharks in four of his five All-Star appearances, including 1997, when the event was held in San Jose. He delighted the home crowd with a hat trick, notably calling his shot on a breakaway against Dominik Hasek on the final tally.
Nolan became the fifth captain in team history in October 1998 and served in that role until he was dealt to Toronto in March 2003. He ranks second in club annals in goals (206), and third in assists (245), points (451) and games played (568).
The Belfast native also played for Phoenix and Calgary, finishing with 422 goals and 463 assists in 1,200 career games.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
