Avs 20th Anniversary Team: Ray Bourque

ColoradoAvalanche.com profiles the players named to the Avalanche's 20th Anniversary Team.

To play 22 seasons of NHL hockey is an incredible accomplishment all on its own, but to score 59 points (seven goals and 52 assists) in a player’s final season is similarly astonishing.

Add a Stanley Cup championship to that campaign and that’s what Ray Bourque managed with the Colorado Avalanche in 2000-01.

Bourque, who spent the majority of his career with the Boston Bruins after being drafted eighth overall by the club in 1979, is one of six defenseman that fans voted to the Avalanche’s 20th Anniversary Team.
