Colorado Avalanche star Joe Sakic announced his retirement Thursday. Sakic played for the Quebec/Colorado franchise his entire career, is a sure-shot Hall of Famer, and played a huge role in making the Avalanche viable in Denver.
The Avalanche deserve a lot of credit. The event they put together Thursday to officially announce Sakic's retirement was first-class, highlighted by one of the better tribute videos you'll ever see. Check it out after the jump.
Sakic's number will be retired at Colorado's home opener in October.
