The Colorado Avalanche announced on Wednesday that Milan Hejduk, the former 4th round pick of the Quebec Nordiques in 1994, will have his number retired this season. The number 23 will never be worn by an Av again as it joins 5 others in the Pepsi Center rafters. The banner raising will happen Saturday, January 6, 2018 before the Avalanche take on the Minnesota Wild.
