From Frank Seravalli at NHL.com:
Since his playing career ended in 1997—after playing for the Devils, Kings, and Stars all in one season—the native son of Minnesota hasn’t stayed very close to the game. He doesn’t often grant interview requests and he doesn’t always have much to say.
Burnout can hit players who spent 19 grueling seasons at the top levels of the game. But it’s not that Broten doesn’t love the game anymore. It just doesn’t play the same day-to-day roles. Broten has since retired to River Falls, Wis., where he helps his wife breed quarter horses on a farm that they run together.
“I just got done cleaning out six horse stalls,” Broten said. “Things are pretty different. But it is peaceful. It is something that I can hang my hat on.”
