We might not celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t leap at the opportunity to talk about some of the things the Colorado Avalanche have made me thankful for.
1. The Avalanche Family
Confession: I started my time following the NHL as a fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins. All the friends who got me into hockey were Pens fans so that’s the team I had the most exposure to when I was finding my way around hockey and the NHL.
It wasn’t a bad experience overall, but the team has a massive following and it’s very easy to feel like a small drop of water in a lake.
