DENVER – The Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club announced today that the organization will retire the number 52 in honor of former Avalanche defenseman Adam Foote. The Avalanche will raise Foote’s No. 52 to the rafters at Pepsi Center during the 2013-14 season, game and date to be announced this summer.

Foote’s No. 52 will be the fifth sweater number retired in the 18-year history of the Colorado Avalanche, joining Joe Sakic (19), Peter Forsberg (21), Patrick Roy (33) and Ray Bourque (77).

Foote will be the ninth player in franchise history to have his sweater number retired, as the Quebec Nordiques retired the jerseys of Peter Stastny (26), Michel Goulet (16), Marc Tardif (8) and J.C. Tremblay (3).

 
Colorado has some great names. Foote will be a great addition. That team was fun to watch for awhile. Loved Sakic.
