Colorado Avalanche coach Patrick Roy put on the goalie pads and practiced Thursday.

Sportsnet said he did it to prepare for the alumni game that will take place Feb. 26 in conjunction with the 2016 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series game between the Avalanche and Detroit Red Wings on Feb. 27.

Roy, a Hall of Fame goaltender, last played an NHL game on April 22, 2003 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the Avalanche against the Minnesota Wild. He retired with an NHL record 551 wins, later surpassed by Martin Brodeur.

Roy, who turned 50 on Oct. 5, is 111-71-23 since becoming coach of the Avalanche in 2013-14.
