Awww Stewie. :( I really hope that's something about moving overseas or being separated by an ocean and calling it for the good of the fam. Solid guy.

If the case is that he (or his family) didn't want to see him playing in Bratislava, did he have any other ways to cancel his contract than announcing retirement (if that even cancels it without consequences)? Because even if there are some serious problems right now, how do you know you aren't going to continue your career in one or two years?

In Europe, you can always terminate the contract in mutual agreement if need be. Not like the NHL.

I know he had a rough time during childhood, hope everything is okay and that he's got a good amount of money left from his career.

Man, it's got to be bad if he doesn't even bother taking a personal day and instead goes straight to retirement.

THE NOTTINGHAM Panthers have added 652 NHL game forward Chris Stewart to the line-up.
He was due to fly in to the UK on Thursday and is set to debut in the home game against Fife this Saturday.
A club spokeswoman said: “The club had this lined up a month ago and all the paperwork is already in place and his international clearance was received over a week ago.”
Meanwhile, 31-year-old Chris has been busy getting in shape both on and off the ice.
He was in the world’s top club league just last season and brings a wealth of experience to Nottingham after icing in 652 games in the NHL.
Last season he was with Minnesota for 47 games (9+4=13points) and a further seven games at Calgary (1+2=3points) having also played at Buffalo, St Louis and Colorado who drafted him 18th overall in the first round in 2006.
In the NHL lock-out year whilst his brother Anthony played for the Panthers in Nottingham, Chris was in DEL2 in Germany where he had twenty points in 15 games.

Clearly isn’t an issue with being overseas... as for a family issue, who knows.

It's funny, I remember him being described at the 'hard-working brother', as Anthony was notoriously lazy.

Probably stopped caring once he started making millions.
