Retirement Ceremony/Deadmarsh Honor Night Summary
Adam announced his retirement before the start of the 2005-06 season. A special ceremony for Adam's fans and his two teams to celebrate his career took place on March 20, 2006 at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, California prior to the Avs/Kings game.
I have transcripts of the event and several articles, which will be going up soon.
I got the honor of meeting Adam's brother Jake (who hadn't seen Adam all evening [he was with the TV announcers!]) that evening and he was really sweet, trying to put me at ease by talking to me, but I was so nervous, I never even asked to take a picture with him like I initially wanted to do. Jake, please accept my very public apology.
