Heading into the weekend Colorado Avalanche goaltender Pavel Francouz decided to make it official that he has decided to retire from the sport of hockey. Earlier this spring Colorado GM Chris MacFarland let it slip that Frankie was enjoying retirement and not working towards a comeback but the question still remained.

Now that it’s official we can reflect on what a great career he had both overseas and three years with the Avalanche including a big helping hand in winning the Stanley Cup. Cheers Frankie!

  • Hear from Francouz in his own words:

  • While waiting for Game 2 in Winnipeg check out this team produced video on the legacy of Nathan MacKinnon.
  • The new team in Utah will certainly be a topic all summer but at least it seems they got off on the right foot with their introduction.
  • And there will be a lot of talk about the existing Arizona Coyotes relocating to become Utah’s hockey team.
