The Colorado Avalanche haven’t always been an uber-young team. The team came to Colorado 20 years ago, after all, and players have retired. Some of them were Avalanche greats, and they’ll get their own post.
Some of the retired players may not exactly go down in the annals of history or into the Hockey Hall of Fame. However, they had an impact on the team, and we Avs fans remember them.
During this series, I’m bucking tradition. Typically when you see a “30 Under 30” (or “25 Under 25”) list, it’s cataloguing people who are currently under that age.
