Regular season

[edit]
  • Head coach Bob Hartley was fired on December 18 and replaced by assistant coach Tony Granato.[1]
  • January 20, 2003: In a game against the Dallas Stars, Patrick Roy became the first goaltender to appear in 1,000 regular season games. At the end of the game, Marty Turco raised his mask to praise Patrick.[2] Prior to the game, Rogatien Vachon presented Roy with a silver goalie stick. Jim Gregory, vice-president of operations for the NHL presented Roy with a crystal sculpture.
  • April 6, 2003: In a game against the St. Louis Blues, Patrick Roy played the last regular season game of his career. The Avalanche won the game by a score of 5–2. It was Roy's 1,029th game, and his 551st victory.[3]
