The Avalanche Guild is proud to announce that the Arkansas Valley Lumbajax is the official Quest for the Crown 4 team for the month of October. As such, discount tickets sold through our website to the two Avalanche home games listed below will support their Quest 4 fundraising efforts.

The Lumbajax are proud members of The Hockey Guild and have participated in a number of Guild tournaments in the last three years, including all three Quest for the Crown charity hockey tournaments. They have helped raise thousands of dollars for our event, which benefits the NHL’s Hockey Fights Cancer foundation. Below is their official history as found on their website:

The concept of the Arkansas Valley Lumbajax has been brewing in Central Colorado for a long long time.

Every Sunday morning, twenty or so hockey players would converge on the concrete to play roller hockey at Longefellow Elementary School in Salida, CO. Players of all ages would hone their skills, smash into the basketball poles, and scrape against the chain link fence. It was there, on the pebble riddled basketball court, that the idea of building a tournament team to travel and play ice hockey in real rinks would begin to develop.

 Fast forward ten years. The outdoor roller hockey had deceased. Most of the players had either moved on or lost interest, but within a few the passion still remained. On a cold winter night, after a few too many games of pool and Keystone Lights at the Rog Mahal, Roger Potts and Nathan Cook made the decision. Tired of wearing sponsors who didn’t care on their backs, paying lots to play very little, and always leaving tournaments disappointed, they decided to make the ARKANSAS VALLEY LUMBAJAX a reality!

With the help of a federal tax return, Roger Potts decided to buy the jerseys outright. He and Nathan combined with Ed Clark to make the Jax Logos, philosophy, and decide just what the team would be about. The Lumbajax were born.

Feel free to take advantage of the great discounts currently available for the Opening Night game against the Stanley Cup champions Chicago Blackhawks on October 7 and the Los Angeles Kings on October 23. Each ticket sold helps the Lumbajax raise funds for their Quest 4 team fee and raise funds for the Hockey Fights Cancer foundation!
