Corey Perry's Surprising Announcement on His NHL Future

In a press conference just moments ago, Corey Perry, currently playing for the Edmonton Oilers, was questioned about his potential retirement. Here's what Perry shared when asked if tomorrow's game would be his last:

"Uh, no. I still have more to give. There's much more in me: another five years."

"What's so funny? I feel like I'm 25!"

Despite being 39 years old, Perry's determination mirrors that of NHL legends who have prolonged their careers well beyond the usual retirement age. The comparison to Jaromir Jagr, who played into his 40s, seems fitting as Perry shows no signs of slowing down.
