And definitely not as a full-time Uber driver, which he has been dabbling in.

Fact is, the 37-year-old former Calgary Flames blue-liner isn’t quite sure what he’ll do next.

A poster boy of sorts for the retired NHLers of the modern era, he doesn’t ever have to work again.

Over $13 million in career earnings made sure of that.

And so, he lives the life many dream of, living in Scottsdale, Az., playing more rounds of golf than he can count.

“It’s got to be a minimum of 250, I don’t even know,” shrugged Commodore, who regularly tees it up with PGA Tour members like Graham DeLaet and Chez Reavie as a member of prestigious Whisper Rock. “I’m not quite scratch. I’m a bad 1.”

Retired in 2014 after the Ukrainian KHL team he was going to play on, Donetsk, had its rink burned down by pro-Russian rebels, Commodore’s chief focus has been to get his handicap down to zero.
