COLORADO AVALANCHE
Denver, United States · National Hockey League
The Colorado Avalanche burst onto the scene in 1996 with one of the most dominant first seasons in professional sports history — winning the Cup in their first year after relocating from Quebec. They've since established themselves as one of the premier franchises in hockey, with three Stanley Cups and a core built around Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar. Ball Arena in Denver is regarded as one of the best venues in hockey.
