With the Alumni game between the Avalanche and the DU Pioneers at Magness Arena just days away, several legends are back in town.
None bigger than Peter Forsberg.
The two-time Stanley Cup champion, Olympic gold medalist, 2003 Hart Trophy winner, and Hall of Famer is going to take the ice on Sunday, lining up alongside Milan Hejduk and Steven Reinprecht for the Avs’ alumni team.
Other participants include Joe Sakic, Adam Foote, John-Michael Liles, Darren Helm, Kyle Quincey, Tyson Barrie, Mark Rycroft, and Troy Terry.
The event kicks off at 3 p.m. with a pre-game festival outside the arena, followed by a 5 p.m. scheduled puck drop.
My colleague Colleen Flynn and I will both be there covering the event. I’ll admit, it’s nice to have some bit of hockey in August.
