🏔️Erik Johnson Retires

Erik Johnson

After 17 seasons in the NHL, Erik Johnson is hanging up the skates. EJ spent 14 years in Burgundy and Blue, helping the Avs capture the 2022 Stanley Cup and racking up more blocked shots than anyone in franchise history. From big goals to bigger hits, he’s left his mark as a memorable defenseman in Avalanche history. Congrats to Erik Johnson on an incredible career and thank you for the memories!
