NHL Veteran Retires After 17 Seasons

Andrew Cogliano, a seasoned NHL player with 17 years in the league, has officially announced his retirement. The Colorado Avalanche star, who was set to enter free agency, has opted to conclude his playing career and transition to a new role within the organization focusing on player development and scouting.

Cogliano, who celebrated a Stanley Cup victory with the Avalanche in 2022, revealed his decision in a heartfelt statement:

The game of hockey has given me and my family so much and I am grateful for every moment. 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. I am excited to start my new chapter in the front office.


Originally drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in 2005, Cogliano swiftly became known for his durability and versatility, playing in all 82 games during his rookie season. Throughout his career, he distinguished himself as a reliable two-way player, known for consistency rather than flashy play.

At the age of 37, Cogliano concludes his career having played 1,294 games, maintaining an ironman streak for 11 seasons until a suspension interrupted it.

Thank you Cogs for continuously making an impact on and off the ice.

Congratulations on an oustanding career.


Congratulations to Andrew Cogliano on his retirement!
