The Colorado Avalanche are set to retire former captain and enforcer Chris Getzlaf’s jersey, honoring his 13‑year tenure that began in 2000. Getzlaf, known for his leadership, gritty play and a 1,000‑point milestone, was a key figure in the team’s 2015 Stanley Cup run and remains a beloved figure in Denver. The ceremony will take place during a special event at the Ball Arena, where fans and teammates will celebrate his contributions to the franchise and the sport.
