On Monday, December 6, 2010, Guerin officially announced his retirement as a National Hockey League player. During an interview with NHL.com, he stated that he wished to stay within the industry in a non-player role, but would first be taking a break from the game to spend time with his family.http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=545722 While he did not play during the 2010-11 season, Guerin left the NHL with 1,263 games played, 429 goals, 856 assists and 1,660 penalty minutes.http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=329
