As part of the entire Stadium Series, Coors Light hosted an event called the Coors Light Center Ice Beer Summit at the View House. The main topic of conversation was the storied rivalry between the Colorado Avalanche and Detroit Red Wings of the 1990s and early 2000s.
The Coors Light Stadium Series is the culmination of the special events surrounding the Colorado Avalanche’s 20th anniversary season. The first-ever Avalanche game was against those Red Wings, and bad blood eventually grew to a boiling point. It was a rivalry celebrated in all of sports, not just hockey.
The two teams were so competitive during the Colorado Avalanche’s first years in Denver.
