Morning Flurries: Welcome Back, Avalanche faithful!

It’s officially #hockeyszn, Avalanche fans!

With the rookie tournaments beginning this weekend, there’s finally enough news to bring back the return of the daily Flurries. It’s been a long, hot drought of a summer, but the world is finally right again - and we’ve got all your hockey news to show for it.

For starters, it’s time to give a big, warm welcome to Ben Scrivens, who will be sticking around in Denver full-time now that he’s hung up his skates at the professional level.

Undrafted, Scrivens went pro after a collegiate career playing for the men’s team at Cornell, manning the crease for one team while his now-wife, Jenny, started for the women’s side.
