Joe Sakic (born July 7, 1969 in Burnaby, British Columbia) is a Canadian professional hockey centre, who has played his entire National Hockey League career with the Quebec Nordiques/Colorado Avalanche franchise.

 

Over the course of his career, Sakic has been one of the most productive forwards in the game, having twice scored 50 goals and earning at least 100 points in six different seasons. His wrist shot, considered to be one of the best in the NHL, has been the source of much of his production.
