Tonight is the first Colorado Avalanche home game of the season, and while a win or a loss doesn’t register in the team’s standings, it’s still going to be an exciting look at players who want to stay on the roster come opening night.

Thanks to our very special friend James, we’re proud to be offering our very first ticket giveaway of what looks to be a promising season. Those of you familiar with our ticket promotions know that we prefer to have a little fun instead of just raffling them out to a random name on a list.

So, in order to win a pair of tickets to tonight’s tilt against the St. Louis Blues, we want you to send us a picture of you in your Avalanche gear. We don’t care if you have to borrow some from a friend or if you have to go to the store and try some on. We want to see your Avs passion!

To be entered into the drawing, you need to take a picture of you in some Avalanche gear (jersey, hat, socks, etc.) and you need to upload it online somewhere. We don’t care where but you then need to post a link to the picture along with your name in the comments below. We want this to be a new picture, not an old one, so you also need to be holding one of these three objects visibly to be considered: a mug or cup, car keys, or some shoes.

At 3 pm we will randomly select a person from the list below and will attempt to notify them that they’ve won. The winner has 30 minutes to respond or else another name will be selected. The easier you make it to contact you, the better.

Good luck and go Avs!

The Avalanche Guild would like to send a special thanks to the entire Mile High Hockey contingency for their excellent support of our After-Hours program and for their awesome sportsmanship on Pepsi Center yesterday afternoon.

We kicked off our fourth season of After-Hours games with a new annual event that pins two popular Avalanche websites against each other. Mile High Hockey vs. The Avs Guild included a few other Avalanche websites as well, like The Burgundy Blog and Avs Weekly. The game brought 30 local Avs fans together for a friendly game of shinny on Pepsi Center ice prior to the Avs game against the Sharks.

Derek Bell, who writes for MHH, drove all the way from Washington (with a pit stop in Las Vegas) to play in this game and he did a great job of spearheading his team’s efforts. A true leader on and off the ice, Bell did a great job between the pipes for MHH despite the lack of oxygen and air in his lungs. We saw shades of Patrick Roy in his style, as his white and blue Koho pads stopped tons of shots from our crew. 

You can also check out a quick video Bell shot before the game started right here!

The game was very evenly matched. Both teams traded chances up and down the ice as the game was clean and the pace was fast for the entire 60 minutes. The Avs Guild would score a late short-handed goal off the stick of Andy Robbins from Avs Weekly and it was just enough to give The Avs Guild a 4-3 victory over Mile High Hockey. Ben Vernelson III was forced to make a few frantic saves in the final minute to sustain the one goal lead and John Wheeler was mere inches from tying the game.

For myself, the event was one of the most memorable in After-Hours history. It was a time-consuming process getting two teams together in just a few weeks into the season, but the support that came through both sides in the final days leading up to the game was monumental and heart-warming. The whole game was a true reflection of the passionate fan base that exists in Colorado and within both websites’ following.

I loved having the opportunity to stand behind both benches and do some coaching for fun. I spent the first period coaching The Avs Guild team, but most of the guys on our team were very good friends of mine and I knew they understood my style. I made a trade after the first, sending Wheeler over to Mile High Hockey to even out the teams just a bit, and then I shifted to the Mile High Hockey bench to coach them for the second and third. What a great group of guys! Tons of communication, plenty of laughs, a ton of support along the boards and overall just a solid hockey team.

Overall, it was an awesome way to kick off the fourth season of our exclusive on-ice event and because of everyone’s support, we are already planning the second-annual Avalanche Blogger Battle for sometime next season. Thanks for the great support and we’ll see you guys next time!

And of course, a special thanks to the 15 guys that joined forces to make up The Avs Guild team. It was great to bring some of my good friends and closest followers together for this awesome event!

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!

The Colorado Avalanche released details this morning on a new interactive contest that will see one lucky fan win a pair of season tickets, courtesy of TicketHorse. The contest begins on Monday, September 27 and lasts for 10 days before the finalists are determined.

As stated on the Avalanche website, the new Puck Drop Contest works like this:

“Autographed Colorado Avalanche pucks will be dropped around the Denver metro area throughout the 10-day contest, and clues about each puck’s location will be posted daily on the official Colorado Avalanche Facebook page. Find one of 19 hidden pucks to instantly become a Puck Drop finalist.”

To participate, visit the official Colorado Avalanche Facebook page now.

The Avalanche also announced today that single-game tickets for the upcoming 2010-11 regular season will go on sale this Saturday, Sept. 18, at 10:00 a.m.

All 41 home games will be available for purchase, highlighted by Opening Night (Oct. 7) against the Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks. Prior to that game, the Avalanche will celebrate the 15-year reunion of the 1995-96 Stanley Cup Championship team with a special pre-game ceremony beginning at 7:35 p.m.

More information on single-game tickets, the Opening Night Stanley Cup Reunion and the Puck Drop program can of course be found on the Avalanche website.

The Avalanche Guild is proud to announce that the Colorado Avalanche has released the official dates for the inaugural Quest for the Crown ticket package.

This exclusive 12-game package is available for anyone that would like to support our popular annual charity hockey tournament, which raises funds and awareness for the NHL’s Hockey Fights Cancer foundation.

The brand new Quest 4 Ticket Package is a great opportunity for teams to save money on their team fees and potentially play in the tournament for free. By registering for the tournament, a team is able to purchase and sell tickets through their own unique team flyer and links. Once the team reaches 250 tickets sold, they have paid off their team fee in full and play for free!

The great thing about this package is that it’s just an option. If teams don’t reach 250 tickets, they still pay off part of their team fees depending on the total tickets sold. For teams that sell more than 250, they are raising money for the Quest cause and for Hockey Fights Cancer! Below are the official games for the Quest 4 Ticket Package:

Thursday, October 7 vs. Chicago
Saturday, October 23 vs. Los Angeles

Saturday, November 6 vs. Dallas
Friday, November 19 vs. NY Rangers

Monday, December 13 vs. Chicago
Monday, December 27 vs. Detroit

Sunday, January 2 vs. Vancouver
Saturday, January 22 vs. Boston

Saturday, February 5 vs. Anaheim
Wednesday, February 16 vs. Pittsburgh

Sunday, April 3 vs. Calgary
Sunday, April 10 vs. Edmonton

Each Quest 4 team captain will receive a flyer and a link for the games of the month. Those flyers are then spread out to friends, family members, co-workers and teammates. Anyone who purchases a ticket off that flyer/link counts towards the team’s 250 total.

For large orders, Captains can contact Jake Godber, our ticket representative, to coordinate. After the games of the month, we will let each Captain know where they are at with tickets sold. Some of these games will sell out, so make sure to place your orders early.

Remember, this is an option and there is no requirement other than paying your Quest 4 deposit, which is refundable if you sell enough tickets. Please contact us if you have questions or would like to know all the fine details about this option. It is a great way to save money in this tough economy while attending great Avs games at an awesome discount!

The new NHL season begins at Pepsi Center on Thursday afternoon starting at 6:45 pm when the Colorado Avalanche presents the historic Joe Sakic Retirement Ceremony. And in order to bring Sakic fans from all over the country together for a night of entertainment only the Guild can provide, we proudly bring you the first-annual Avs Board Bash!

Members from the Avalanche Message Board will be attending the game as a massive group in order to celebrate Joe Sakic’s career together while having the opportunity to take advantage of some great discounts throughout the night.

Then we turn things up a notch by hosting one of our exclusive After-Hours games for the group as well. So once the Avs are finished wiping the floor with Dany Heatley and the Sharks, you can catch close to 30 die-hard Avalanche fans playing in a friendly game of drop-in hockey on Pepsi Center ice, which caps off what will easily be one of the most memorable home games in Avalanche history!

Click above to learn more about the first-annual Avs Board Bash and remember, it’s still not too late to join us at the game. Just purchase your discounted tickets by clicking here!
