The road to 100 Avs games (11.)
In this new photo series, we look at Eurolanche's journey to 100 Avs games.Eurolanche, the largest Colorado Avalanche Fan Club in the world, reached a historic milestone on January 10, 2026, when its members watched the Avalanche's 100th game as part of Eurolanche on Tour, formerly known as Eurolanche Invasion.
To mark the occasion, an extensive article was published with detailed statistics providing an overview of all 100 games that Fan Club members have seen in North America. Meanwhile, the most detailed summary ever written regarding Eurolanche on Tour XVI has also been published.
Let's now take a look at Eurolanche's journey to this milestone through a photo series and commemorative comments focusing on memorable moments (mainly) related to attending Avalanche games overseas.
EUROLANCHE INVASION XI (2018/19) - 8 games (70/100)
The eleventh trip brought the first portion of eight games. Part of the expedition arrived two days early to catch a short trip to Las Vegas, where Eurolanche returned after three years. A series of home games followed, enriched by a flight to Chicago. We watched the Avs game there, rented a car and drove south. We visited Nashville, passed through Kentucky, and ended up in Tennessee. The journey back seemed endless, but there were even more experiences. We met with the players only at the end of the trip, but we were forbidden to publish photos so that some fans wouldn't envy us. That really happened, but we'll tell you more about that soon.
The journey from London to Denver in a nearly empty British Airways Jumbo Jet. That's something you won't forget!
Arrival and traditional photo at the Altitude TV studio right in the lobby with Peter McNab and Lauren Gardner.
Winter? No problem. Our hotel had a year-round heated pool.

Part of the expedition came all the way from Prešov, Slovakia and it was obvious.
Pavel Francouz and Martin Kaut were also in the audience. At that time, the fans did not yet recognize them. Who would have thought that Francouz would win the Stanley Cup in three years?
Let's goeeeeee!
