Finnish superstar Teemu Selanne will get a chance to play at least one more season, thanks to the end of the National Hockey League lockout.

The 42-year-old Anaheim Ducks star said in December he would likely retire if the 2012-13 NHL season was canceled because of a labour dispute.

"Last week, I said: 'You know what? Whatever happens at least we know what's going on.' Coming out today and seeing the teammates and training staff, it is a happy meeting," said Selanne at the Ducks' practice facility in Anaheim.
