Denver, CO -- (Sports Network) - Colorado Avalanche veteran center Joe Sakic might announce Thursday whether or not he will be back on the ice for a 20th season.

According to the Denver Post, Sakic will speak at a news conference on Thursday before his charity golf tournament at Sanctuary in Sedalia. However, the newspaper also claims that there is no guarantee that Sakic will come to a decision on his future in the news conference.

Sakic, 38, made $6.75 million on a one-year deal for last season. In his 19th season with the franchise, he posted career-lows with 13 goals and 40 points in only 44 games while being slowed by groin problems and subsequent hernia surgery.

The British Columbia native has accumulated 623 goals and 1,629 points over 1,363 games, all with the Quebec/Colorado franchise since the 1988-89 season.

Veterans are expected to report to the Avalanche on September 19 for physicals, one day before lacing up the skates for training camp.
