Mike Modano walked away from the NHL on Friday with tears, signing an honorary one-day contract so he could retire after 21 seasons as a member of the Dallas Stars.

The 41-year-old native of Livonia, Mich., broke down in tears several times during his final news conference in Dallas. He retires as the NHL's all-time leading scorer among American-born players in goals (561) and points (1,374).

"You wonder what this day would be like," Modano told a crowd of about 200 family, friends, former teammates and members of the Stars front office. "It's pretty overwhelming."
