AJ Olivieri has been a hockey fan since the early 90's. The first team he followed religiously was the Toronto Maple Leafs. But when the Quebec Nordiques moved to Denver, CO in 1995 he found a new love. The Colorado Avalanche have more than satisfied Olivieri's passion for hockey. Now he has the opportunity to write about his beloved Avalanche on a daily basis. AJ Olivieri lives in southern Colorado with his beautiful wife and amazing daughter.
