2009-10 Training Camp Dates
Aug 19th
The Avalanche released information on their upcoming Training Camp today, including dates and information on their annual rookie camp:
“The Avalanche will begin its 2009 training camp on Sept. 12, with veterans reporting for medical and physical tests. The Avs will be on the ice for three days from Sept. 13-15 at the South Suburban Family Sports Center in Centennial, Colo. Practices and scrimmages will take place in the morning from roughly 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.”

Pre-Season Shredder
Aug 17th
The Pepsi Center ice staff has called upon us to host some competitive hockey games in order to help them get the rink ready for another season of NHL action. Therefore we proudly introduce our first event of the new hockey season, the Pre-Season Shredder, which will be a series of drop-ins and games at Pepsi Center on Monday, September 21.
We call it the pre-season shredder because, well, we’ve been given one single task - bring out the best local adult hockey players and straight up shred the ice in order to get it nice and ready for the upcoming Avalanche season.

After Hours Welcome Letter
Aug 5th
On behalf of the Colorado Avalanche and The Avalanche Guild, we would like to welcome you all to our third season of Avalanche After Hours games. We have a lot of great benefits planned for Year #3, including more options and opportunities to play on NHL ice at Pepsi Center!
Some of you are already quite familiar with the After Hours program, yet others have only heard about the experience from players on other teams. For those that are unfamiliar with this exclusive on-ice program, our official welcome letter will give you some basic information on how it works and what you can expect in the coming months as we prepare for the 2009-10 season. Click to download and then learn more by clicking on the After Hours tab at the top.
An After Hours game takes place either before or after an Avalanche home game. You and your teammates will literally play a hockey game on Pepsi Center ice, while also attending the game at a great group discount. Everything from the jumbotron and PA announcer to the locker rooms, your team is a part of a real game on real NHL ice!!
We are proud to offer available games for both pre and post-game ice, so now you have more opportunities to sign up for your own After Hours game. Remember, it doesn’t just have to be for your hockey team. It can be for your business or co-workers, a group outing with your hockey friends and family or just a good ol’ game of shinny with the weekly drop-in crew. Regardless of your playing level or ability, you’re welcome to play in our After Hours program.
And yes, we’re still giving away FREE team entries for our third-annual “Battle for the Banner” shootout tournament, coming in March 2010.
