Hockey Betting Lines

05/25/2010 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Colorado Avalanche have signed defenseman and team captain Adam Foote to a one-year contract for the 2010-11 season.

The undisclosed contract allows the veteran to return for a 19th NHL campaign and 17th with the Colorado/Quebec franchise. Foote is the franchise leader among defenseman in games played (920) and playoff games (170) and was a member of Colorado's 1996 and 2001 Stanley Cup championship teams.

The 38-year-old is the second-highest scoring defenseman in team history with 251 points. His 195 career assists are a club record among blueliners.

"Adam's veteran leadership has been and will continue to be a big part of our success," said Avalanche general manager and executive vice president Greg Sherman. "He provided stability last season and set an example for our young players right from the start of training camp. We are pleased to have our captain back for another year."

Selected in the second round of the 1989 NHL Draft by the Quebec Nordiques, Foote is also a three-time Olympian with Team Canada (1998, 2002, 2006) and won gold at the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City.

In 1,107 career games, including a nearly three-year stint with Columbus, Foote has accumulated 66 goals and 234 assists with a plus-108 rating. He was plus-eight with nine helpers and zero goals in 67 games this past season.
