Former Clarkson Hockey All-Star Craig Conroy '94 is starting the next phase of his career without any regrets. The veteran Calgary Flames forward made his retirement from the National Hockey League official on February 4, deciding to accept a position as a special assistant in the Flames organization rather than try to extend his playing career.

The 39-year-old Conroy took some time to weigh his options after being waived by the Flames a little over a week ago. He had the option to report to Calgary's AHL affiliate in Abbotsford.
On October 28, 2010 the former Golden Knight All-America became the 255th hockey player all-time to skate in 1,000 NHL games when Calgary hosted the Colorado Avalanche. The Potsdam, NY native, who starred at Clarkson from 1990-94, played his first NHL game on February 15, 1995 with the Montreal Canadiens at the Hartford Whalers.
Conroy played 1,009 games in his NHL career and scored 542 points. His best season came in 2001-2002 with the Flames when he scored 27 goals and added 48 assists.
