In the past few hours, the Colorado Avalanche made an announcement regarding their new acquisition for the upcoming season, former Montreal Canadiens player Jonathan Drouin.

Just a few days after joining the organization, the 28-year-old Quebec native has already chosen his jersey number. Similar to his last season in Montreal, he will wear #27.

Furthermore, while currently participating in a 3-on-3 hockey league in Quebec, Drouin has already received his equipment in the colors of his new team.

We are pleased that he can already turn the page and show readiness for this new chapter in his career as he joins a Stanley Cup-contending team.
