Hot Rods N’ Hockey Recap
Nov 8th
On Sunday afternoon, the Colorado Avalanche and Bandimere Speedway held their third-annual Hot Rods N’ Hockey car show outside the main entrance of Pepsi Center. The free event was open to the public and ran through the day leading up to the Avs home game against the Edmonton Oilers.
Check out our video recap below, which includes information on this awesome fan appreciation event. We were there pretty early since we had to run another After-Hours game, but some of the rides we did catch were slick!
The Avs Board Bash is Here!
Sep 30th
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!

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.
