MarketScale Mornings: Marty Turco’s Move from the Ice to the Boardroom

 

To retire before the age of 40 is a dream for many professionals. But for a professional athlete, working until then is a sign of lengthy career. By the time most athletes retire from their sport, they still have a lot of opportunity to pursue other professional paths off the ice, field or court.
