In a surprising turn of events, Nikolai Khabibulin, a former Chicago Blackhawks goalie and Stanley Cup Champion, is making a comeback at the age of 50.
Torpedo officially announced the comeback, revealing that Khabibulin, who currently coaches goaltending for the team, has signed a one-way contract until the end of the season.
Khabibulin last played in the NHL in October 2013, making his decision to return quite remarkable. With almost 800 NHL games and a Stanley Cup win with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2004, Khabibulin's comeback adds another chapter to his impressive hockey career.
