Colorado Avalanche center Andrew Cogliano in the period against the Los Angeles Kings at Ball Arena in Denver on Friday, Jan. 26, 2024. Andrew Cogliano has decided to retire after 17 NHL seasons and will join the Colorado Avalanche front office, he announced Friday through the club.
“The game of hockey has given me and my family so much and I am grateful for every moment,” Cogliano said in a statement released by the Avs. “I am blessed to have played for so long with some great organizations and amazing teammates. I will miss being with the guys in the dressing room and battling for each other on the ice every night but it’s time to move on. Thank you to everyone I ever played with, played for and all the great fans for all of their support.
Always one of the fastest skaters in the league, Cogliano became a well-respected leader and top penalty killer at each of his stops. He was also an ironman, playing in 830 consecutive games to start his career and missing a total of 27 regular-season contests in 17 years. “On behalf of the Avalanche organization, we would like to congratulate Andrew on a fantastic NHL career,” Avalanche general manager Chris MacFarland said in a statement. “He is a true pro, a fierce competitor, a great teammate and leader, and a mentor for younger players. He always set the example for the rest of the group with his hard work on and off the ice and his preparation and details.
