An Icon of the Ice
Joe Sakic, a name synonymous with excellence in the world of hockey, retired from the NHL in 2009, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire. His jersey number was retired by the Colorado Avalanche prior to the 2009–10 season opener, a testament to his indelible impact on the team and the sport. Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2012, Sakic’s career is celebrated not only for his skill and leadership but also for his enduring influence on the game.
