The Colorado Avalanche are discussing honoring their Quebec Nordiques’ history during the 25th anniversary season. Should they?
The Colorado Avalanche will turn 25 next year. July 1, 2020 will mark the 25th anniversary of the announcement.
Naturally, we know the Avalanche weren’t an expansion team. Rather, COMSAT Entertainment Group bought them and moved them from Quebec. The 25-year anniversary marks when they came to Colorado.
