Ice hockey legend Teemu Selänne has decided not to retire from the NHL quite yet. On Sunday the 38-year-old signed another two-year contract with the Anaheim Ducks.

Selänne is the team's former captain and all-time leading scorer with 325 goals. He will earn an estimated 5.25 million dollars over his last two seasons, which is considered a bargain for the team.

The right wing may also still play for Finland in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada.

Selänne, who had considered hanging up his skates this year, celebrated the new contract by scoring two goals in Sunday night's preseason practice game against Vancouver Canucks.
