Clitsome (back) announced his retirement from hockey Wednesday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
Clitsome has undergone multiple surgeries on his back. His failing a pre-training camp physical prevented him from suiting up with the Jets in the 2015-16 season. Drafted by the Blue Jackets with a ninth-round pick in 2004, Clitsome was claimed off waivers by Winnipeg in 2012. The 31-year-old, lauded as a smooth skater, spent six years in the NHL, recording 71 points (15 goals, 56 assists) in 205 games.
