His diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is why. After over a quarter century doing hockey (including the NCAA playoffs) on ESPN, especially when the NHL was considered sport non grata.

I noticed last hockey season he was going through a cognitive decline. On highlights packages he couldn’t keep up with the action and he frequently got teams and players wrong. The studio hosts were gentle in correcting him and I figured they felt he earned going out on his own terms.
