Since then, the Avalanche have amassed an impressive collection of accolades, including three Stanley Cups, three Conference Championships, and 12 Division titles.
Playing their home games at the Ball Arena, the Colorado Avalanche share the stadium with the Denver Nuggets of the NBA and the Colorado Mammoth of the NLL.
