gold star for USAHOF

Avalanche retire Adam Foote's jersey



We almost forgot about this. The Colorado Avalanche retired the number 52 in honor of Adam Foote who played for them in all but two and a half seasons from 1991 to 2011. The native of Whitby, Ontario was known as a consummate stay-at-home Defencemen, who brought leadership and grit to every team he ever played on. This is why that for a man that was never selected to any All-Star team and had 309 career points, was a stalwart on Canadian National teams and was a part of the 2004 World Cup and 2002 Olympic victories.


Foote becomes the fifth man to have his jersey retired. He joins Joe Sakic (#19), Peter Forsberg (#21), Patrick Roy (#33) and Ray Bourque (#77). Foote is eligible for the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2014.
