Colorado Rockies
The Colorado Rockies are an American professional baseball team based in Denver, Colorado. The Rockies compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the National League (NL) West division. The team's home venue is Coors Field, located in the Lower Downtown area of Denver.

In the World Series they were swept by the American League (AL) champion Boston Red Sox in four games.
Colorado Rockies (NHL)
The last active NHL player who had played for the Rockies was Joe Cirella, who retired from the NHL following the 1995–96 NHL season and played his final professional season for the Cologne Sharks in Germany. In that season, incidentally, Colorado saw the NHL return to Denver after 13 years, when the Quebec Nordiques moved to the city and became known as the Colorado Avalanche. Additionally, Rockies draft pick Bruce Driver played in the NHL until 1998, but did not join the team until 1983, after their move to New Jersey.
