Teemu Selanne is one of the best ever to skate on the NHL rink, leading the league in goals three times since 1999. He's also a remarkably bad golfer. Actually to be more accurate, he's remarkably good at acting like he's bad at playing golf.  Or perhaps both, which would be so meta.

Anyway, the Finnish Flash made a humorous clip of him attempting play golf. After getting his Sergio Garcia on by hitting the ball into the water, Selanne made his announcement: He's back.

The winger signed a $2 million, one-year deal with the Anaheim Ducks for his 21st and final season.

It's not certain what role the 43-year-old Selanne will play in the upcoming year, but hopefully it'll send him off right after giving decades' worth of solid hockey. He'll also be in the running to be one of the six players to score over 700 goals in a career. Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, Marcel Dionne , Phil Esposito, Mike Gartner, and most recently, Brett Hull are the six. Selanne will need 25 goals to break the mark.
