Colorado Avalanche Tickets Information

They played 7 full seasons in the WHA, making the post-seasons 7 years in a row and even going so far as to win the Avco World Trophy in 1977, before joining the NHL, along with the Winnipeg Jets, the Hartford Wailers, and the Edmonton Oilers in 1979.

For their first 7 years in the NHL, the Quebec Nordiques didn't do as well as they had in the WHA. It was only after the 1994-95 lockout that the team was sold to a group of Denver, Colorado investors and became the Colorado Avalanche we know today.

As anyone who's ever held Colorado Avalanche tickets can tell you, as soon as the team moved south and changed their name, they regained the power and command over the ice that they once held as the Nordiques, in large part thanks to the skilled work of former team captain Joe Sakic (also known as captain of Team Canada in the 2006 Winter Olympics), defenseman Adam Foote, and forward Peter Forsberg.

Fierce contenders once again, the force now know as the Colorado Avalanche took the Northwest Division championships every year from then (1995) through 2003, winning the Western Conference championships in 1995-96 and the Stanley Cup in 2000-01.

2008-09 was Colorado’s worst season since they moved from Quebec. With a record of 32-45-5, the Avalanche finished 15th in the Western Conference. This led to an offseason of many changes. General Manager Francois Giguere was replaced by Greg Sherman, and he quickly made a head coaching change, hiring Joe Sacco to replace Tony Granato after one year.

Things began to take a turn for the better when the Avalanche were able to draft prolific prospect Matt Duchene to lead the team into the future. Colorado also added a bit of toughness by signing David Koci, and a new goaltender in Craig Anderson. With these additions, fan favorites like Ryan Smyth and Ian Laperriere were not retained.

Sakic, the only captain that the team has even known, decided to hang up his skates after 20 successful years in the NHL. His #19 will be raised to the rafters of the Pepsi Center during a special ceremony before the 2009-10 season opening game against the San Jose Sharks.

To witness the Avalanche return to prominence, but also watch one of the all time greats being honored this year, be sure to get your Avs tickets today.
