Joe Sakic in Ten Numbers

-Derek Belohrad

Over the weekend The Avs Hockey Podcast posted a link (via their Facebook page) to an article from The Hockey News titled “THN.com Top 10: Joe Sakic numbers”.  THN.com did a good job on finding ten numbers that could summarize the characteristics that made Sakic such an important player in the NHL and for Colorado.  My personal favorite was number 10.  When I was still coaching youth hockey I used Sakic as the example for who my players should aspire to be.  This is just another reminder that while we all in Colorado will miss him the league, as a whole, will be losing a player of great influence.
