Under the bright lights of Coors Field, one of the greatest rivalries in hockey history was once again brought to life, this time for the 2016 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series Alumni Game held on Friday, Feb. 26.
Needless to say, the event was a smashing success, kicking off an unforgettable weekend of outdoor hockey.
From the mid-1990s through the early 2000s, the Colorado Avalanche and the Detroit Red Wings provided the NHL with intense and viciously entertaining games, as both teams combined for five Stanley Cup championships in seven years (1996-2002) while featuring in one of the most heated rivalries in the sport.
