Colorado Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson announced his retirement on Wednesday after 17 NHL seasons.

The No. 1 overall pick in the 2006 NHL Draft by St. Louis, Johnson won a Stanley Cup with Colorado in 2022.

Johnson, 37, recorded 348 points (95 goals, 253 assists) and 555 penalty minutes in 1,023 career games.

He spent parts of 14 seasons with the Avs and also played for the Blues, Buffalo Sabres and Philadelphia Flyers.

“After 18 incredible years in the NHL, I am retiring with a heart full of gratitude,” Johnson said. “To the St. Louis Blues, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers and most of all the Colorado Avalanche: thank you for the opportunities and memories, especially the 2022 Stanley Cup.

“To my teammates, coaches, and staff: your support, camaraderie, and dedication shaped my career. To the fans: your passion made every moment unforgettable. To my family and friends: your unconditional love and support carried me through. Hockey has been my life, and I’m grateful for every second. I’m excited for what’s next and will always cherish this journey.”

Only Adam Foote (967) appeared in more games among Colorado defensemen than Johnson (731). Johnson holds the franchise record for blocked shots (1,373) and ranks third in hits (1,288).

The Minnesota native won a silver medal with Team USA at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. He also won a bronze medal at the 2013 IIHF World Championship.
