Tuesday, December 15, 1998 Footes welcome first child into worldDENVER (CP) -- Colorado defenceman Adam Foote has had two reasons to celebrate this week.On Sunday, Jennifer Foote gave birth to the couple's first child, Callan Hayden Foote. On Monday, he returned to the Avalanche lineup after missing three games with a concussion. He'd missed 15 games earlier this season with a torn triceps muscle. "I was a little concerned about my conditioning," he said of his return to NHL action. "I was going to be honest and if I didn't feel good in the warmups and if I felt like I had lead legs, I wasn't going to go. "I have so much adrenaline right now, I didn't think it was going to make a difference. Overall, I felt good." Meanwhile, Colorado captain Joe Sakic, who was absent Monday after flying to Vancouver to be with his wife, Debbie, after she underwent an emergency appendectomy, will play Thursday night against the Canucks when his team opens a three-game road trip on the West Coast. |
