On Saturday at the Pepsi Center the Colorado Avalanche will honor Milan Hejduk with a pregame ceremony before they take on division rival the Minnesota Wild. Fans have been instructed to be in their seats by 5:45 pm MT.
No other player has worn the no. 23 since Hejduk retired after the 2012-2013 season. It will be the 6th number Colorado has retired. That no. 23 sweater is set to join Joe Sakic (19), Peter Forsberg(21), Patrick Roy(33), Adam Foote (52 ) and Ray Bourque (77). The jersey will raised to the rafters in a special ceremony.
