Former Senators forward Andrew Agozzino has announced his retirement from pro hockey.
Agozzino played 847 AHL regular-season games over his 14-year pro career.
The 35-year-old also played 53 NHL games with stops in Colorado, Anaheim, Pittsburgh, Ottawa, San Jose and, finally, this past season in Utah.
He announced his retirement on Instagram with some of his favourite hockey photos from his career.
It was almost five years ago to the day that Agozzino signed a one-year, two-way deal worth $800,000 with the Senators.
He was used almost exclusively in Belleville that year, where he finished third in club scoring with 43 points in 66 games.
But he did get called up for one game in the 2021-22 season, making him a member of the Senators' one-and-done club.
Agozzino is one of just 18 players to appear in exactly one regular-season game for the Senators.
Every one of them hoped there would be a second, but it never came.
Here's the full list: Martin St.
Amour Left Wing (LW) 1992-93* Kevin MacDonald Defenceman (D) 1993-94* Bobby Dollas Defenceman (D) 1999-2000 Erich Goldmann Defenceman (D) 1999-2000* David Van Drunen Defenceman (D) 1999-2000* Simon Lajeunesse Goaltender (G) 2001-02* Brooks Laich Centre (C) 2003-04 Julien Vauclair Defenceman (D) 2003-04* Danny Bois Right Wing (RW) 2006-07* Andre Petersson Right Wing (RW) 2011-12* Nathan Lawson Goaltender (G) 2013-14 Matt O'Connor Goaltender (G) 2015-16* Patrick Sieloff Defenceman (D) 2017-18 Daniel Taylor Goaltender (G) 2017-18 Andrew Agozzino Left Wing (LW) 2021-22 Viktor Lodin Centre (C) 2021-22* Magnus Hellberg Goaltender (G) 2022-23 Hunter Shepard Goaltender (G) 2025-26 The only man in the one-and-done club to record a point in their game with the club was Sieloff, who scored a goal in a 7-2 loss to Florida in 2018.
Remarkably, Sieloff played only one other NHL game in his career (with Calgary), and he scored in that game, too.
For 10 players on the list, marked by an asterisk, their lone appearance with the Senators also proved to be the only NHL game of their careers.
At first glance, that might seem a little sad.
But ask almost any retired minor pro player, and they'd tell you they would have given just about anything for even one night in the NHL.
A small taste of the dream is way better than none at all.
