Sakic says he is closer to decision on hockey career
While no firm date has been set, future hall of famer Joe Sakic says he’s getting closer to making a decision on whether to play another season or retire.
"I needed some extra time this year," Sakic told Denver’s "FM Sports Radio 104.3 The Fan". "It’s been a very, very difficult decision to make. I’m hoping to have something here in the next couple of weeks, make my final decision and go forward with it."
Sakic said he’s been staying in contact with Colorado’s general manager Francois Giguere and new head coach Tony Granato.
"When I talked to Francois in June, we both understood that the team was going to go forward, regardless of what my decision was going to be, and that enabled me to take as much time as I could," Sakic said. "Right now, I know training camp’s approaching rapidly. Summer’s gone by pretty fast. I’m going to make my decision here pretty shortly."
Sakic missed 38 games in 2007-08 due to hernia surgery, but still recorded 40 points in 44 games.
