I was wondering what happened to Felix, as last I knew he was a backup in Boston a few years back. Here's a story from ESPN:

Hey Justin, Thanks for the great link! Very good article! I always wondered what became of Felix. It was interesting to read aobut the reasons for not making an offiicial announcement for retiring...makes sense really.

yea, i was only born in 1996, but i still watch old leaf games on LeafsTV and i have a video with the leafs 93-94 cup run. and some of the saves i saw the cat made, were amazing for a rookie who had all this pressure on him in the playoffs.

Felix was a big part of the intense rivalry between the Habs and Leafs, I seen him play many times and he was a good goalie especially in the years when the leafs weren't so good. I have Don Cherry movies and he is in them, amazing how he slipped away so easily.

I noticed a lot of players didn't come back after the lockout.

No cup for Dino, what a shame

All Leafs fans have a special place in their hearts for the Cat. Sounds like he's got a good life, all the best to him and his family.
