Being a hockey fan is nowhere near as difficult as playing the sport itself; it is a long, cold season plagued with injuries and disappointing losses. Even if you make it to the playoffs, it is only the start of a longer, more grueling post-season. However, the grind, blood, sweat, and occasional tears make it all worth it when your team scores the game-winning overtime goal. For us, hockey is not a sport but a religion that permeates our character, and we proudly identify as an Avaholic.

This blog is written with a profound passion for the Colorado Avalanche, and no matter your degree of hockey prowess or team affiliation, we designed this website to entertain and inform its readers of all things Avalanche. If you’re a fan of an opposing team, you’ll probably be offended by some content, but I’m not sorry. Avid Avaholics dedicates its writing to those who stand by the Avs regardless of what the scoreboard reads and know that nothing in life is certain except, death, taxes and that the Red Wings will always suck.
