Joe Colborne left his hometown Calgary Flames to sign with the Avalanche, but that’s like leaving his birthplace for where he grew up. The former University of Denver star is beginning his second move from Calgary to the Mile High City, shopping for a residence this week after competing in the Pioneers’ annual pro camp at Magness Arena.
“It’s honestly just a nicer version of Calgary,” Colborne said of Denver. “It’s warmer and the weather is great. And there’s so much to do. In Calgary, it’s great, but it can get a little slow sometimes. Denver always has something going on.
