Former NHL defenseman Tim Erixon has retired from playing and accepted a scouting position with the Vegas Golden Knights. The move follows unsuccessful attempts to return to competitive play with Timrå.
Erixon ended his playing career after injury issues prevented a comeback. He had previously won an SM gold medal and a World Championship silver while appearing in nearly 100 NHL games. The 34-year-old described the recruitment process as professional and well organized, noting it was difficult to decline the offer from the NHL club.
