"pretty much" retired from professional hockey — «95%. I'm right on the edge of retirement, if not retired.» - Jason Demers


Demers was originally drafted in the 7th round by the Sharks back in 2008 and spent the start of his career in San Jose. He also played for the Stars, Panthers, Coyotes, and finally the Oilers in 2022-23.
Spending most of the last year with the Oilers affiliate, Demers is looking to transition into a TV analyst for NHL Network and NBC Sharks.
We are expecting an official announcement from Demers in the coming weeks on his future.
