Colorado Avalanche

It was just announced that the Colorado Avalanche will be hosting an outdoor hockey game, as part of the NHL Stadium Series in 2020.

The Colorado Eagles begin their inaugural season in the AHL when they host the Chicago Wolves in the regular season opener on Friday. We have all the details.

The new season in a new league is going to begin soon. This means a new face will lead the way.

Not many people came into this NHL season with high expectations for the Colorado Avalanche and their chances on winning the cup. But I don't think many of us predicted that the season would turn out to be this bad.

We know it's been a tough season for the Colorado Avalanche, but this latest statistic shows that there are many fans throughout the state that can now be called former fans.

If you're a fan of professional sports in Colorado, you're probably familiar with some of the beloved mascots that represent each of the teams.

The Hockey Hall of Fame may not seem as prestigious as the Baseball Hall in Cooperstown or the Football Hall in Canton, but if you spend your whole life on skates, I am sure there is no greater honor than being enshrined in Toronto. That honor came true for six former NHL players today (June 23), two of them former Colorado Avalanche stars.

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Tyson Barrie is most likely done for the rest of the season. The guy who laid the dirty knee-to-knee hit on him will only have to miss seven games, as the NHL suspended the Minnesota Wild left winger Matt Cooke.

After watching the first two games of the the opening round playoff series between the Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche, there was no question who the quicker/more athletic team was. It was clearly the Avs. Game 3 was a different story though and it seemed as though at least a little of that was a result of the Wilds aggressive play.

I must admit that I haven't watched a whole lot of hockey this season, and no excuses will be good enough to not be called a fair weather fan. But starting tonight, I will be watching the Colorado Avalanche as they begin their quest for the Stanley Cup. Here are a few reasons you should be watching too.

Just because they're a whole bunch of dudes who don't like to shave, with no teeth, running into each other and even fighting, it doesn't mean hockey players don't have big hearts. And although I am not the biggest hockey fan in the world, I have found myself a new favorite player. Not because of what he has done for the Colorado Avalanche, but what he did off the ice.
