T.J. Oshie, who scored four shootout goals for the U.S. to beat host Russia at the 2014 Sochi Olympics and helped the Washington Capitals win the Stanley Cup in 2018, announced Monday he is retiring after playing 16 NHL seasons.

Oshie announced his retirement with a tear-filled speech at the Washington Harbour on Monday, the seventh anniversary of the Capitals players swimming in the fountains on the Georgetown waterfront after winning the Stanley Cup two days earlier -- June 7, 2018.

A hero for the United States at the 2014 Winter Olympics, Oshie became a fan favorite with the Capitals and was a key part of Washington’s Stanley Cup championship team.
