The Avalanche announced today that the organization will retire former Avalanche defenseman Adam Foote’s number 52 jersey on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2013.  The Avalanche will raise Foote’s No. 52 to the rafters prior to the game against the Canadiens at Pepsi Center. 

Foote’s No. 52 will be the fifth sweater number retired in the 18-year history of the Avalanche, joining Joe Sakic (#19), Peter Forsberg (#21), Patrick Roy (#33) and Ray Bourque (#77).

Former Red Wings star Nicklas Lidstrom will have his No. 5 retired in a ceremony next season, according to an ESPN.com report.

The Red Wings announced Thursday that Lidstrom will be honored before a March 6 game against the Avalanche.
