COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — It was 83 degrees in Denver on October 9th. By the morning of October 10th, Denver’s first snowfall of the season had ripped through town while thermometers in the Mile High City read 19 degrees, a record-breaking temperature drop in just a matter of hours. And it couldn’t have been more perfect.
Why? Well Colorado’s winter welcomed NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman to town on Oct. 10, as he visited Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, home of this season’s Stadium Series, to host the event’s preview press conference live on NHL Network.
