Its always a pretty intense game, says Avalanche vice president of communications Jean Martineau. Theres always some new prospects coming in from the training camp and looking to prove themselves, and its a great opportunity for both fans and the team management to judge the talent of those prospects.
This year, the game moves to Broomfields 1stBank Center, which seats just 5,300 for hockey events. So if youre used to watching the action from the nosebleed seats at the Pepsi Center with 18,000 of your fellow fans, youll enjoy this. When the puck drops tonight at 6:30 p.m., watch for Joey Hishon the Avs first-round draft pick coming up from Ontarios Owen Sound Attack Junior A Hockey Club and other young guns like Luke Walker, Michael Bournival, Troy Rutkowski, Stephen Silas and Calvin Pickard.
