SALT LAKE CITY – 39-year-old Salt Lake City native Trevor Lewis is calling it a career after 17 NHL seasons and 1,034 career games.
The two-time Stanley Cup champion announced his retirement with a heartfelt message on social media.
“As a kid growing up in Utah, I could have never imagined this journey,” Lewis wrote. “Playing 1,000 games and winning two Stanley Cups. Those milestones aren’t just numbers to me, they represent years of sacrifice, perseverance, and a deep love for the game.”

He continued,” Hockey has given me more than I could ever ask for—brothers in the locker room, lessons that shaped me as a man, and memories that will last forever… I leave this game with nothing but gratitude and pride. Hockey has given me everything, and I’m excited to see what comes next.”
Lewis was drafted 17th overall by the Los Angeles Kings in the first round of the 2006 NHL draft.
His NHL debut came in December 2008, but Lewis wouldn’t become a regular in the Kings’ lineup until the 2010-11 season.

Lewis returned to the Kings in 2023 when he signed a one-year deal with the franchise.
