AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — As the ice is cleared of Colorado Avalanche and L.A. Kings players and families alike after a quick practice and skate around on Friday evening, the countdown for takeoff at the 2020 Stadium Series at the Air Force Academy is officially underway.
With less than 24 hours to go, the excitement among the Avs locker room is palpable.
“It’s just going to be a really cool experience, a unique experience,” Avalanche defenseman Ryan Graves said Friday after the team’s first and only practice on the ice at Falcon Stadium before the Stadium Series game.
