"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Canadian box lacrosse legend John Tavares will announce his retirement Wednesday, WKBW in Buffalo reports. TSN hockey reporter Bob McKenzie confirmed WKBW\u2019s report.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tavares, 46, is the uncle of New York Islanders center John Tavares. He has played for the National Lacrosse League\u2019s Buffalo Bandits since their inception in 1992.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tavares hold the NLL records for most goals, assists and total points in a career.

He set the record for career points in 2007 and just kept adding to it.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tavares spent his entire career playing indoor \u201Cbox\u201D lacrosse, a 6-on-6 variation of the 10-on-10 outdoor game more commonly played in the United States.

Long after I\u2019m done playing lacrosse, I\u2019ll be a teacher. This is my career.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;SI VAULT:&amp;nbsp;Low salaries and fast action: NLL's 15-year success formula&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Dan Gartland&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
