Colorado Avalanche star Joe Sakic announced his retirement Thursday. Sakic played for the Quebec/Colorado franchise his entire career, is a sure-shot Hall of Famer, and played a huge role in making the Avalanche viable in Denver.
The Avalanche deserve a lot of credit. The event they put together Thursday to officially announce Sakic's retirement was first-class, highlighted by one of the better tribute videos you'll ever see. Check it out after the jump.
Sakic's number will be retired at Colorado's home opener in October.

Goodbye, Sakic. You will be missed. Even by those of us in Detroit who still hate your team. The league is losing one of the best to ever lace up. You'll join you 19 counterpart Yzerman in Toronto in 3 years, without a doubt.
