Jaden Schwartz, a 15-year NHL veteran, has officially joined the Colorado Avalanche and is already hitting the ice in his new team gear—sporting the iconic number nine. This number holds deep personal meaning, as it was his original NHL number with the St. Louis Blues and later switched to honor his late sister Mandi, who wore it during her college career. After a stint with the Kraken, Schwartz is now back in Colorado, making number nine’s return a meaningful moment for fans and teammates alike. The last major player to wear it here was Zach Parise in 2025, so Schwartz’s choice signals both legacy and fresh energy as he prepares to dive into the season.
