The historical fifth trip of the Eurolanche members to Denver on the Colorado Avalanche hockey has started.More than 5000 miles, 22 hours of travelling, more
than 14 hours in the air and one transfer in Washington – this is the official
start of the Eurolanche Invasion V. Four
members of the first European Colorado Avalanche Fan Club will spend in Denver
two weeks from March 7th to 21st. Three fans from
Slovakia, David, Rudo and Lukas, and Matej from Czech Republic will take a part
in the long journey. For the Eurolanche President, David Puchovsky, the
Invasion V will be his overall fourth appearance in Denver since 2008.
All year money saves will be transferred to the unforggatable
moments and life-time experiences. The
main schedule includes six home games of the Colorado Avalanche and for the
first time in the history of the Invasions, the seventh game, played on the ice
of Minnesota Wild. Members of the Invasion V will drive from Denver to Minnesota
for almost 15 hours, totally 920 miles one way. The PR department of the
Colorado Avalanche organization has known about the activity of the Eurolanche since
the first trip and will provide the complimentary tickets and special passes
for the meetings with the Avalanche players to the members of the Invasion V
trip. The Invasion V will be finished by one-day stay in Toronto, where members
would visit the Hockey Hall of Fame.
The rest of the Eurolanche Invasion V schedule
contains the visiting of two Avalanche practices and several games of the other
pro-North American leagues as are MLB, NBA, MLS and NLL. Not only sports events,
but also other key parts of the schedule wait for the Eurolanche members. They are also looking forward on the
meetings with US fans and the local media, which followed all four previous
Invasions and did interviews with the members of the fan club. This year,
four Eurolanche members will visit amazing places of Colorado State, as for
example Aspen, Idaho Springs or Lake Granby.
